Synopses & Reviews
This workshop brought together researchers from materials science, physics, chemistry and biochemistry with interests in determining the structure of substances beyond their average crystal structure. Materials where this is important range from semiconductor alloys to proteins in solution. The workshop featured pedagogical talks on the analysis of diffuse scattering from single crystals and powders, XAFS, NMR, small angle scattering and other techniques which reveal additional information about materials beyond that obtained by Bragg analysis. Theory plays a special role in such studies because of the difficulty of extracting and interpreting information from these techniques.
