Polarized Neutrons for Condensed Matter Investigations (PNCMI)

The conference will cover the latest condensed-matter investigations using polarized neutrons and state-of-the-art methodologies and techniques of polarized-neutron production and utilization for novel instrumentation and experiments, with emphasis on prospects for new science and instrument concepts as well as combining neutrons with complementary techniques and in-situ secondary measurements.
PNCMI is the most comprehensive conference on the latest scientific research using polarized neutrons and on related instrumentation development. The topics will include:

• Multiferroics and chirality
• Strongly correlated electron systems
• Frustrated and disordered systems
• Quantum materials
• Magnetic nanomaterials
• Thin films and multilayers
• Soft matter
• Imaging
• Polarized neutron instrumentation
• Polarized neutron techniques and methods

The conference will include a tour of the polarized-neutron facilities at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
