Professional Development Course sponsored by BCMaterials @ TMS 2015

José Manuel Barandiaran co-organizes the Characterization Techniques for Magnetic Materials Workshop on March 15th, at Orlando, Florida, USA, in which renowned experts in the field will present the fundamentals of structural, compositional and functional characterization techniques applied to magnetic materials. Computational methods will also be covered in this course, which is aimed towards undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs in topics related to magnetic materials, as well as to industrial researchers who are involved in the production or application of magnetic materials. Researchers more involved in theory and simulation will also benefit from this course, as they will gain a better understanding of experimental data to which they can compare their results. The course will include the following topics:
- X-ray, neutron and electron diffraction (Juan Rodríguez-Carvajal)
- Neutron reflectometry (Charles F. Majkrzak)
- Compositional determination at the nanoscale
- Atom probe tomography (David N. Seidman)
- Magnetic moment characterization
- Vibrating sample magnetometry (Brad Dodrill)
- SQUID magnetometry (Shi Li )
- X ray magnetic circular dichroism (Gisela Schütz)
- Imaging techniques
- Magnetic force microscopy (Dan Dahlberg)
- Magneto-optics (Rudolf Schaefer)
- Lorentz Microscopy (Amanda Petford-Long)
- Modeling of magnetic materials
- Micromagnetic simulations (Michael Donahue)
