MS-084: Quantum crystallography of non-equilibrium or nanostructured materials

Co-Chairs: Dr. Anna Makal & Prof. Eiji Nishibori

Real materials are neither perfect crystals nor “ideally imperfect” crystals. They are affected by temperature and pressure and contain defects and nanostructures, all of which influence their properties. This microsymposium welcomes contributions on high-pressure crystallography, disordered materials, lattice dynamics, diffuse scattering, interrogation of defects and nanostructures, and the crystallography of excited states, as well as studies of other systems that differ from single-phase, ideal crystals. Such investigations push quantum crystallography toward the measurement of bonding, spin, and momentum densities in unconventional but truly “real” material systems.
