The Forum will bring to City University of Hong Kong the leading experts around the world in the topic field of condensed matter physics - quantum spin systems and from major international neutron scattering facilities to discuss the current issues and to share their latest works.
The following please find the program:
On Jan. 26, 2021, the Multi-Physics Instrument (MPI) at Chin Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) received the first neutron beam from the target station. MPI is CSNS’ first user instrument and was built in cooperation with Dongguan University of Technology (DUT) and City University of Hong Kong (CityU). It is also the first neutron total scattering instrument in China. MPI will mainly be used for research on materials with different ordered structures, focusing on structural analysis of local structure in ordered and disordered materials. It will serve well for users in Hong Kong as an effective tool to probe materials, especially for research on materials science, condensed matter physics, life science and nano-materials.
The MPI team has since conducted many benchmarking experiments and generated remarkable results. In this workshop, we invited Prof. CHEN Heshen of CAS, Prof. YANG Mengsu Michael, VP(RT) of CityU, and Prof. LI Wenfang, VP of DUT to be our Guest-of-honor, and we shared those remarkable results with interested MPI users. The instrument performs well and is expected to enter into user programme in the coming cycle. We would also like to discuss the future use of MPI and introduce opportunities to collaborate.
The 2018 International Conference on Quasielastic Neutron Scattering (QENS), the 13th in the series, aimed to cover a broad range of scientific activities in the investigation of material dynamics, in the domain of both space and time, while emphasizing on new applications in relevant emerging industrial areas. The 2018 Workshop on Inelastic Neutron Spectrometers (WINS) was the 8th in the series. Building on the theme of “New idea, New concept, New design, New instrumentation for New sciences”, WINS2018 focused on the aspects of innovative instrument design as well as reports on progress of new spectrometer projects. With outstanding recommendations from the international advisory committee and support from the community, QENS-WINS 2018 offered an exciting scientific program, with more than 100 presentations at the forefront of applications of quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering techniques. The conferences was well supported by seven sponsors from U.S.A., Europe, Japan, and Hong Kong. Professor WANG Xun-Li was co-chair of the conference with Dr. YU Dehong of Australia Nuclear Science and Technology Organization.
