This will be a training course on how to get the most out of the Horace, SpinW and Euphonic software packages. Horace is a widely used suite of Matlab programs for the visualisation and analysis of large datasets from time-of-flight neutron inelastic scattering spectrometers. SpinW is a Matlab library that can plot and numerically simulate magnetic structures and excitations of a given spin Hamiltonian using classical Monte Carlo simulation and linear spin wave theory. Euphonic is a Python package to calculate phonon bandstructures and inelastic neutron scattering intensities from force constant matrices.

Neutron Scattering,    Scientific Computing and Data Science

European Magnetism Association

Like previous editions of ESM, the 2024 School aims at providing a thorough understanding of magnetism based on a broad series of fundamental lectures, while offering the latest insights into up-to-date aspects of magnetism with lectures focusing on a special topic. The objective of the 2024 school is to cover a wide range of fundamental to functional phenomena, to serve as a critical evaluation of the use of magnetism and magnetic materials to serve in energy-efficient devices, especially to address societal challenges. The School will be an opportunity for young scientists and lecturers from various fields to meet, share their expertise and build a network

Magnetism for energy-efficient devices

The Oxford School on Neutron Scattering is intended for scientists and engineers who are new to the field of neutron scattering. Lectures and tutorials covering the theory and practice of neutron diffraction and spectroscopy are given by international experts. Students will gain a comprehensive grounding in modern techniques and applications at both continuous and pulsed neutron sources and have the opportunity to hear about the latest research being carried out with the technique.

An ideal introduction to the theory, techniques and applications of neutron scattering
