Combining different techniques spanning the radiations used in crystallography can provide insights into phenomena such as the interplay between charge and spin density waves in kagome metals and superconductors, metal-insulator transitions, charge ordering, magnetism, superconductivity under high pressure, symmetry-breaking mechanisms, lattice distortions, electronic topology, and the discovery of novel quantum materials. This microsymposium welcomes contributions across this broad range of important research topics.
