Konference a workshopy

The goal of ESS science symposia held in various European countries since 2011 is to explore scientific challenges brought by current construction of European Spallation Source in Lund, Sweden. The symposium Future Engineering Diffraction Research in Materials Processing and Testing is organised by Czech-German team collaborating on the design and construction of new engineering beamline for ESS.

We are proud to host the first regular International Workshop on Relaxor Ferroelectrics in Stirin, Czech Republic, on 12–16 October 2014. The Workshop will will initiate a biannual worldwide discussion forum focused on the physics and applications of relaxor ferroelectrics, their structure, polar nanoregions, nanodomains, dielectric and piezoelectric properties, relation to structural and spin glasses, spectroscopic data etc.

The idea of regular scientific meetings of physicist involved in studies of ferroelectrics and phase transitions in Poland and Czechoslovakia followed inevitably from the success of first such event in Blazejewko in 1979. The Seminar was organized in collaborating of the Department of Dielectric of the Institute of Physics of Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and Ferroelectric Lab of the Institute of Molecular Physics of Polish Academy of Sciences. The Seminars are an international forum for presentation of recent results, unconstrained discussions and initiating of joint studies.

Ad hoc workshops are small two days workshops organized by authors of the crystallographic software Jana2006. The topics and dates are selected by participants in Jana web pages. A workshop is organized as soon as an overlap in subscribed topics is found. The topics of the 17th workshop are as follows: (INT1) Simple 3d structures; (INT2) Simple 4d modulated structures; (DIS) Disordered structures; (RIG) Application of rigid body; (TW) Twinning. Program details will be given in the workshop page.
