On behalf of the International Advisory Committee of the 6th International Conference on Synchrotron Radiation in Materials Science (SRMS-6), it is a pleasure to invite you to submit original papers to SRMS-6 (20-23 July, 2008). This conference will take place nearby the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (Laboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron, www.lnls.br ), located in Campinas, State of São Paulo, Brazil.
This conference brings together leading edge researchers from around the world and is a celebration of the increasingly important relationship between materials science and synchrotron radiation research.
The main organizer of SRMS-6 will be the Brazilian Synchrotron Laboratory, with support from several Brazilian and Latin-American Agencies and Universities. Professor Neville Greaves, University of Wales (UK), chairs the International Advisory Committee (IAC).
The main topical areas of the conference are Archaeological Materials, Catalysts and Clusters, Complex oxides, Data-storage and Engineering materials, Films, Surfaces and Interfaces, Geo-physical and Electronic materials, Glasses and Ceramics, Liquids, Magnetism, Materials under extreme conditions (high pressure, etc.), Metals and Alloys, Metamaterials, Molecular electronics, Multiferroics, Nanostructured materials and Self-assembly, Polymers and Biomaterials, Photo materials, Nanofocus techniques, Strongly correlated materials, Superconducting materials, Industrial use of SR, Instrumentation/Recent Developments.
Previous SRMS conferences were held in the United States (APS-2006), France (ESRF-2004), Singapore (2002) and Japan (1998). We hope you can come to Campinas and invite you to submit original papers both for oral presentations as well as for poster presentations.
