International Workshop on Resonant X-ray Scattering in Electrically-ordered Systems

Scope of the Workshop

This Workshop will be held at the ESRF, Grenoble (France) from Thursday 12th to Friday 13th February 2004.

The research field of Resonant X-ray Scattering (RXS) has achieved tremendous progress in the last years. Nowadays RXS is rapidly becoming the crucial technique for investigating the subtleties of microscopic magnetism in systems where the ground state properties reflect a delicate balance between several different correlated processes.

The aim of this workshop is to discuss present and future possibilities for RXS investigations of electronic order, including studies of charge, magnetic, and multipolar ordered states. The sessions will cover experimental and theoretical aspects of hard and soft X-ray resonant scattering from single crystals and thin films. The workshop will feature invited lectures and shorter talks of 15 min. (incl. discussion). A poster session in the afternoon on the first day should foster intensive discussion among the participants.
