EosFit Workshop

EosFit workshop at ECM-2015 in Rovinj

Friday August 28^th 2015

Hotel Park, Rovinj, Croatia

An equation of state (EoS) describes how the volume or density of a material varies with changes in pressure and temperature. It also defines how some of the elastic properties of the material change in response to compression and expansion. Equations of state therefore provide not only fundamental thermodynamic data but also give insights in to the details of interatomic interactions within the solid state, as it is these that resist the externally-applied compressive stresses. EoS are thus fundamental to understanding the structure-property relationships in crystalline materials. Workshop participants will be introduced to equations of state to describe the volume variation of crystals with pressure and temperature, and taught how to use the EosFit-7 software to determine elastic parameters from diffraction data.

ECM 29 XXIX European Crystallographic Meeting

XXIX European Crystallographic Meeting
Rovinj, Croatia, 23-28 August 2015

The 29th European Crystallographic Meeting will be held in Rovinj during August 2015, organized by the Croatian Crystallographic Association (CCA).

The Program Committee is organizing a diverse scientific program of microsymposia and keynote lectures in five focus areas to illustrate the growth in science of the ECA Special Interest Groups and the additional networking activity of the General Interest Groups.
