摘要:

This was the sixth Zuoz school in a series that has become well established in the neutron scattering diary. This year's school on “Complementarity Between Neutron and Synchrotron X–ray Scattering” drew approximately 110 people from 18 different countries (including as far away as Australia) to participate in the school and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Engadine valley from August 9–13, 1998. The meeting opened with a tour-de-force overview of the relevant cross sections by W. Fischer (PSI), and went on the first day to concentrate on surfaces, films and multilayers with talks by S. Sinha (Argonne) and D. McMorrow (RisG) and then a theoretical talk by M. Altarelli (ESRF), who introduced some of the capabilities of the latest synchrotrons, addressing interesting subjects such as orbital ordering in the transition-metal oxides. Powder diffrac with synchro(Griffith Univ., Australia), respectively. Magnetic correlations in lowdimensional systems was discussed by H. Braun (PSI) and W. Stirling (U. Liverpool, UK), covering magnetic neutron and X–ray scattering. G. Schiitz (Wiirzburg) introduced magnetic dichroism and the interesting idea to use it as a microscope to image domains. Turning to soft matter (polymers), D. Richter (KFA, Jiilich) showed what information inelastic scattering can bring to the subject. Returning to magnetism, W. Buyers (Chalk River, Canada) discussed magnetic neutron inelastic scattering, and V. Geshkenbein (ETH, Zurich) continued on the same general subject with an account of vortices in the superconducting state. The school also contained two clear lectures on the optics of synchrotrons and neutrons by world experts A. Freund (ESRF) and P. Boni (PSI), respectively. Refocusing on the physical problems as well as the techniques, Hans Ott (ETH, Zurich), in an evening lecture, gave the participants a walk through “hot minding us of the equal importance of topics” in condensed matter research, all the way from quantum dots to nonFermi liquids and on to the interface between biology and physics.
