The school will provide hands-on training and lectures on how to determine magnetic structures from powder and single-crystal neutron data. The techniques and theory of representational analysis and magnetic space groups will be introduced by leading experts and demonstrated in a series of hands-on examples.

The format will follow past workshops. But this year it is back to in-person student attendance!

Lectures and hands-on tutorial sessions will cover:

  1. Symmetry analysis using representation theory and the SARAh program and ISOTROPY Suite
  2. Magnetic space groups using the Bilbao Crystallographic Server
  3. Refinement strategies using the FullProf Suite, GSAS-II and Jana
  4. Magnetic structure determination from powder and single-crystal data

The school is intended for graduate students, postdocs, and research scientists who have a working knowledge of crystallographic refinement and will benefit from incorporating the techniques of magnetic structure determination from neutron diffraction into their research.
