Tutorial

On Monday 9 February from 15:30 to 18:00 there will be one tutorial, limited to 20 participants.

It will take place in the meeting room LOB 1-45

Aim & scope

Studies of strongly correlated materials cover a wide range of important materials and fields. Superconductivity, whether it involves iron-based superconductors, cuprates, or Heavy-Fermion superconductors, is still a subject of fundamental importance. Other areas such as topological insulators, multiferroics, frustrated systems, magnetism and actinide systems are also of current interest. The upgrade programme at the ESRF has provided state-of-the-art instruments with enhanced capabilities that allow new experiments. At this session, users could express their scientific goals and establish a dialogue with the ESRF staff to enable new science with the facilities at the ESRF.
