|
|
Promoters
Prof. M.Kovalchuk (Russia)
Prof. B.Capelle (France)
Proponents
four ECA councilors:
C.Lecomte (France)
A.Pietraszko (Poland)
D.Viterbo (Italy)
S.Zheludeva (Russia)
Topics \ Area of the SIG
The following topics are intended to play an
important role in the field of SIG s activity:
- dynamical x-ray diffraction, diffractometry and
topography
- multibeam x-ray diffraction
- surface sensitive diffraction and scattering
- x-ray diffraction in vibrating crystals
- phase problem in x-ray scattering;
- x-ray phase-contrast imaging; x-ray holography
- x-ray wave fields at x-ray scattering and diffraction;
X-ray standing wave phenomena
- secondary radiation yields under x-ray interaction with
matter
- x-ray scattering in layered systems; x-ray and SR
waveguides
- physical principals of x-ray scattering and diffraction
for x-ray and SR optical elements and schemes.
Status (Rules)
1. Title
A special Interest Group within the European
Crystallographic Association (ECA) entitled X-ray
diffraction physics and optics , XDPO.
2. Objectives
The principal objectives of the SIG are to support
advances in x-ray diffraction physics and optics research
by theoretical investigations and experimental study
using various x-ray sources including SR; to bring
together
scientists interested in these areas.
3. Membership
All European crystallographers interested in x-ray
diffraction physics and optics are encouraged to join the
XDPO SIG. Those not living or working in one of the ECA
Member Countries have to register as IM's of the ECA.
4. Organization
The activities of XDPO will be organized by its
Steering Committee, consisting of 10-15 members (including
Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Secretary). The election
procedure for the Steering Committee and the maximum
period for its membership will be established during the
start-up period of XDPO, which will cover three years.
During the start up period the Steering Committee will
initially consist of the Promoters and a Vice-chair and
Secretary who will be nominated from the Founding members.
The first meeting of the active group of founding
members has been successfully held in Nancy. It was
decided that the preliminary board of SIG will consist of
co-chairmen:
prof. M.Kovalchuk (Russia) and prof. B.Capelle (France)
and secretary
prof. S.Zheludeva (Russia)
5. Activities
The SIG should:
- Organize microsimposia and plenary talks at ECM's;
- Organize seminars, workshops; satellite meetings of the
ECM's;
- Organize regular school for young scientists involved
in the problems of x-ray diffraction physics and optics ;
- Set-up of web-site with information about meetings,
addresses, ets.;
- Preparation of databases and computer programs. Access
to information about them are to be given via the website;
- Cooperate with the various IUCr Commissions in the
organization of corresponding microsimposia at IUCr
Congress;
- Promote other activities that may favor the interests
and development of research in x-ray diffraction physics
and optics.
