50th IFF Spring School 2019: Scattering! Soft, Functional and Quantum Materials

The IFF Spring School 2019 will provide a solid introduction into scattering methods for the investigation of condensed matter and biomaterials. Advanced methods at novel large scale facilities such as the x-ray free electron laser XFEL or the MW spallation sources will be highlighted. The power of modern scattering techniques will be demonstrated by examples for topical research in various fields - from Quantum Materials through Functional Materials to Soft Matter and Life Sciences. Finally, complementary techniques such as electron spectroscopy, modern electron microscopy etc. will be presented.

The participants of the Spring School are expected to have a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and physics or chemistry of condensed matter. The School comprises around 50 hours of lectures plus discussions, and will be held in English.
