[institut] Podsecanje: IPB Seminar: Ivana Radosavljevic Evans and John Evans, Monday, 24 July, 12:00

[Bratislav Marinkovic]

Dear colleagues,

You are cordially invited to the IPB seminar, which will be held on  
Monday, 24 July 2017 at 12:00 in the library reading room “Dr. Dragan 
Popovic" of the Institute of Physics Belgrade. The talk entitled

Large Synchrotron and Neutron Facilities: Access and Functional 
Materials Research Examples

will be given by

Abstract of the talk:

Understanding structure-property relationships underpins much modern 
research in materials chemistry and physics.  By understanding how 
materials function one can often optimise their performance or design 
new enhanced materials.  Synchrotron and neutron scattering techniques 
often lie at the heart of this research, revealing unique detail on the 
structure and dynamics of functional materials.

In this presentation we will highlight areas of our work that have 
benefitted from both elastic and inelastic scattering methods.  We will 
highlight examples from energy materials (ionic conductors required for 
fuel cells), structural materials (for example, negative thermal 
expansion materials) and materials with novel electronic and magnetic 
properties.  We will also highlight how in-situ and in-operando studies 
can help in materials synthesis and discovery.  We'll outline methods we 
have developed to optimise the information that can be extracted from 
complex datasets.

Access routes to large synchrotron and neutron facilities will be 
discussed, if these are of interest to the audience.


Best regards,
Bratislav Marinkovic
