Date: 2008-10-30 Place: Lecture Hall B, Physics Department, Lund University, Lund. Abstract: Neutron and X-ray scattering techniques have been around for a long time. They have revealed the crystal structure of simple molecules to large proteins, the ordering of spins in antiferromagnets, the dynamics of spins and atoms and provided unique engineering insights into large industrial components such as gearboxes or fuel cell batteries. To a large degree the developments in these two techniques have occurred separately, however in recent years and across many fields, scientific drive has sought to take advantage of the synergy of neutron and X-ray scattering. In this talk I will deal on how the pursuit to understand issues in condensed matter such as charge ordering and magneto-electric materials requires the use of both neutron and X-ray techniques to make real progress. I will specifically deal with examples in magnetic resonant X-ray scattering and polarized neutron scattering to demonstrate the synergy of these tools and make an attempt to look at the opportunities that will be available from next generation sources.
