*Scope of TEX2008
The three-day workshop, to be held as a satellite meeting of AMTC1, is going
to provide an excellent opportunity to learn the state-of-the-art
computational techniques for quantitative analysis and interpretation of
ELNES and XANES. Profound discussion and exchanges in ideas are also
envisaged. Invited and contributed talks by leading-edge scientists
world-wide are planned on the 1st day, which is followed by the tutorial
session of a few computer programs on the 2nd and 3rd day.
Both electron energy loss near edge
structure (ELNES) and X-ray absorption near edge structures (XANES) are
important tools in materials science offering information on local
environment of selected elements not only in crystals but also in amorphous
materials. Recent technological progress enables measurements of XANES of
ppm-level dopants using modern synchrotron facilities. Combined with transmission
electron microscopy, ELNES can be used to analyze the local structures with
subnanometer spatial resolution. First principles methods to reproduce and
interpret the spectra have been established just recently. The workshop is
planned to demonstrate the capability of the state-of-the-art techniques and
also to make profound discussion among scientists worldwide.

*Proceedings
We plan to make
proceedings of the workshop to be published as a special issue of the Journal
of Physics: Condensed Matter (JPCM). Typical page length we expect is
8-10 printed pages. Note that JPCM changes the page format from B5 size with
a single column to A4 size with a double column since 2008.
The deadline of the submission of the proceeding paper is 5 August 2008,
just a month after the workshop. All papers will be refereed in accordance
with the guidelines of JPCM. We expect to launch the special issue in the
early 2009.
*Call for Poster Papers
Participants are
encouraged to present their recent research at a poster session of the
symposium. One page abstracts should be submitted before
5 June, 2008
.
Please send your abstract in PDF format to
tex2008 .at. sigma.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp
(sampleTEX2008.doc)
*Registration
Because of the physical limitation of the workshop
hall, the number of participants are limited to 100.
Registration is closed.
