Chris Garvey (ANSTO), Gary Bryant (Centre for Molecular and Nanoscale Physics, School of Applied Sciences, RMIT University)

Description

This workshop will introduce researchers to a range of scattering techniques, with emphasis on their application to research in soft matter.

The workshop is suitable for experience researchers, ECRs and post-docs and PhD/Honours students.

There will be opportunities for students to present posters of their research, even if they are not related to scattering - this will allow people to get feedback from experts on how the techniques discussed in the workshop may benefit their research.

The themes of the workshop are:

Introduction to scattering formalism (applied to pulsed field gradient NMR, neutron, X-ray and light scattering techniques).
Research seminars highlighting how these techniques have been applied to soft matter research.
Data reduction, analysis and interpretation.
The practicalities of accessing instrumentation, both laboratory based and at major facilities.

The workshop is free. Some travel and accomodation support will be available for students from Australia and New Zealand.

Support for the meeting has been given by the Australasian Colloid and Interface Society. Please let the organisers know if you are a member. If you wish to join ACIS follow this link.
