Neutrons are a perfect probe for the study of structure and dynamics of condensed matter. The extremely wide range of its applications is due to its unique properties (e.g. zero charge, magnetic moment, isotope dependent scattering). Thus with neutrons the microscopic structure of matter can be determined in space and time non-destructively with atomic resolution. The aim of the two-day workshop on 18th and 19th of June in Erlangen was to bring together experts for neutron research of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) and researchers of the Cluster of Excellence “Engineering of Advanced Materials” (EAM) as well as researchers of CENEM for extensive exchange and discussion.
