Pernambuco School on Neutron Scattering

Sobre

Sobre o evento

The Pernambuco School on Neutron Scattering is a training event focused on neutron scattering and imaging techniques, bringing together students, researchers, and international experts. These techniques are powerful tools for investigating the structure and dynamics of materials across a wide range of length and time scales, with applications in energy, catalysis, polymers, drug delivery, functional materials, magnetism, superconductivity, and engineering. The school aims to expand the Brazilian neutron user community by promoting knowledge exchange, fostering international collaborations, and preparing researchers for the future Brazilian Multipurpose Reactor. Due to the strong interaction of neutrons with light elements, particularly hydrogen, these techniques are especially valuable for studying pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, and lithium-ion batteries. In addition, the magnetic moment of neutrons makes them uniquely sensitive to magnetic phenomena. The school is part of the collaboration between Brazil and the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, one of the world's leading neutron research facilities, providing participants with direct contact with state-of-the-art neutron science and its applications
