MS-038: Aperiodic magnetic structures

Co-Chairs: Alexandra Gibbs & Oscar Fabelo

Sponsoring Commission: Magnetic Structures

Co-Sponsoring Commission: Aperiodic Crystals

Aperiodic magnetic structures pose both challenges and opportunities in the study of condensed matter physics. Neutron scattering has traditionally been a key technique for investigating these systems, offering valuable insights into the connections between aperiodicity, magnetism, and material properties. More recently, advances in synchrotron radiation sources have positioned X-ray scattering as an effective alternative or complementary method for studying aperiodic magnetic structures. This microsymposium will focus on recent progress in the study of aperiodic structures, including purely magnetic aperiodic systems and those combining nuclear and magnetic aperiodicity. Contributions are especially encouraged that highlight advancements in scattering techniques, including innovations in instrumentation, improvements in data processing and analysis software, and applications to understanding aperiodic magnetic systems.
