In this workshop you will learn to interpret diffuse scattering and to simulate disordered crystal structures. Defects are quite common in crystals and are responsible for a number of properties like ionic conductivity, electronic properties of indirect semiconductors etc. In diffraction, defects ma... Continue

How can nanoparticles or thin films be characterized using scattering methods? These and other questions were answered in the 5th CENEM Summer School for X-ray Scattering which took place from 29th July to 1st August 2019 at the Institute for Crystallography and Structural Physics (ICSP) in Erlan... Continue

A worldwide unique instrument (SAXS/SANS), developed and built at ICSP, allows simultaneous small angle scattering experiments with neutrons and X-rays at the Institut Laue-Languevin (ILL) in Grenoble (France). Prof. Dr. Tobias Unruh explains in an interview with "Welt der Physik" the application fi... Continue

Structural investigations on nanoparticles are typically performed either by X-ray- or neutron scattering methods. A new device now couples the two established investigation methods for nanoparticles. In future, samples will be examined using X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques simultaneously. ... Continue

From the 29th of July to 1st of August 2019 the Institute for Crystallography and Structural Physics (ICSP) will host the 5th CENEM Summer School for X-ray Scattering. The school will provide a perfect opportunity to get a detailed insight into theory and practice of several modern scattering method... Continue
