Scattering is a powerful and indispensable tool for the study of advanced materials. Because of their unique advantages, scattering studies often yield unique insights into the structure and dynamics of materials that are not accessible by other means. This symposium solicits presentations covering emerging topics that utilize scattering techniques, including both neutron and x-ray scattering. The symposium will bring together researchers from the scattering and materials communities to address how scattering techniques can be applied to current problems in materials science. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

1. Structure determination of complex systems
2. Phonons, lattice thermal transport, lattice effects on stability, anharmonicity
3. Magnetism, spin dynamics, magnons, and other collective excitations and their interactions
4. Microstructure characterization and control
5. Residual stress mapping and imaging in engineering components
6. Phase transformation kinetics and fundamental issues of nucleation and growth
7. Structure and property relationships in soft matter
8. Neutron and X-ray instrument development and modeling
9. Theory and modeling of scattering process and material response

An online event to promote cooperation between Africa, SESAME and European labs and to enhance the access of the African user communities to the SESAME synchrotron radiation facility.

This workshop will offer a tutorial of Vulcan neutron data reduction and analysis to current and future Vulcan users. A tour to Vulcan with the future detector upgrade is also provided and the new capabilities will be discussed. The workshop will help the participants to quickly learn the data processing and to have deepened scientific understandings on the neutron data as well as the instrument capabilities.
Vulcan is designed for deformation, phase transformation, residual stress, texture, and microstructure studies. It covers a broad range of applications in materials science and engineering, from residual stress determination in engineering components to understanding the fundamental aspects of material behaviors during synthesis, processing, and service. In the workshop, introduction is given on fundamentals of engineering diffraction, time event neutron data structure, data reduction and analysis approaches. In the hands-on tutorial, the participants will be guided to conduct user-interactive reduction of temporal and/or spatial neutron data, neutron data visualization, data analysis based on single peak fit and full-pattern refinement. Participants are welcomed to discuss the process of their own Vulcan data. The sections of Q&A and participants discussion are included as well.

This meeting will take place in the town of Poreč, Istria. Due to its extraordinary geographical position, and natural and cultural beauties, today it is one of the strongest tourist centers in Croatia.

Inspired Design, Assembly and Properties of Molecular Materials

For the past three decades high pressure research has made breakthrough progress in many fields of science mainly due to the significant improvements in the high-pressure apparatus and developments of advanced static and dynamic probes. Most of the experiments at extreme conditions are very challenging and require dedicated techniques to collect crystallographic data with unprecedented speed and resolution to quantitatively characterize pressure/temperature induced transformations in the crystalline lattice. The tunability, brilliance, and collimation of synchrotron X-ray sources provides scientists with unique capabilities for probing the structural, chemical, and physical properties of various types of materials in-situ at extreme pressure, temperature, and strain with ultra-high spatial, temporal and energy resolution. However, in many cases the complex energy landscapes of multicomponent chemical systems require the use of the predictive power of computational methods that play an essential role in extreme-conditions crystallography coupled with physical experiments.

The purpose of the 2022 workshop of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) Commission on High Pressure is to bring together researchers who apply extreme-conditions crystallography in combination with other experimental and computational methods to study a wide range of material properties covering various fields of science, including condensed-matter physics, solid-state chemistry, geophysics, materials science, biology, nanotechnology etc. The workshop aims to facilitate extensive discussion and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Students, postdocs and early carrier scientists in particular will find this workshop helpful in gaining improved familiarity with available state-of-the-art methods and how they can be applied to their research.

We plan to organize a tour to the relevant APS beamlines for workshop attendees (pandemic permits) and a half-day tutorial with hands on examples.

This 5 ECTS point course will explore the geometry and topology of ordered cellular patterns such as foams, bicontinuous and polycontinuous forms and nets found in synthetic and biological materials, including:

• Mesoporous silicates
• Metal organic frameworks and coordination polymers
• Amphiphiles, lipids, star polyphiles forming lyotropic liquid crystals
• Block copolymers including star miktoarm copolymers

Lectures will emphasise the fundamental structural aspects, with an introduction to the following concepts from modern geometry, crystallography and topology:

• Two-dimensional symmetries and orbifolds (wallpaper and point groups)
• Graph theory and net embeddings, knots and entanglement
• Triply-periodic minimal surfaces and related polycontinuous patterns
• 2D hyperbolic tilings and their embedding in 3D

No specialised mathematical knowledge is assumed, apart from some elementary familiarity with the shape of space, polyhedra and symmetry. The course will introduce students to unifying structural concepts in a range of ordered multi-phase hard/soft materials. We encourage students with theoretical or experimental backgrounds to attend.

The course will familiarise students with open-source software for construction and characterisation of structures from nets to surfaces. Hands-on tutorials will explore the concepts, via models and software like Kaleidotile, Surface Evolver, Houdini, GAVROG (3dt and Systre), RCSR, EPINET and HooMD for molecular simulations.
