Conference Themes

Spectroscopy and Scattering

Synopsis:

The purpose of this theme is to bring together researchers who have applied their spectroscopic or scattering techniques to systems of relevance to emerging fields of surface and colloid science (e.g. nanotechnology and biotechnology), as well as in more traditional areas (e.g. lubrication, catalysis, mineral processing, and environmental surface science). Papers are sought from researchers using techniques from across the electromagnetic spectrum, including lab-based and synchrotron scientists.  In addition, papers on neutron scattering and strongly encouraged.  Equal emphasis will be given work that is fundamental in nature or concerned with potential applications of spectroscopy in various industries.
