The general objective of this work group is to provide information on methods and applications of neutrons on hot topics - e.g. in the energy or information sector and material science - to the community of crystallographers. We also would like to offer practical guidance to users who whish to use neutrons but have questions like “How do I apply for beam time?”, “In what time scale can I expect to do my experiment?” and so on.
In intervals of about two or three years, the work group offers courses and workshops to strengthen the exchange of information between all scientists interested in or already using neutrons.

Due to organisatoric reasons the satellite workshop right after the annual meeting of the DGK has been canceled.

Instead we will offer a satellite workshop around the german conference about research with synchrotron, neutron and ion radiation on large scale facilities (also known as SNI) in September 2018 in Garching. The workshop will offer lectures on the basics and various methods and examples of diffraction, spectroscopy, etc. with neutrons, X-rays/synchtrotron and ions. Also, there will be the opportunity for detailed discussions and exchange of experience. Interested persons are cordially invited to register by sending a short e-mail with the header “Neutron Workshop 2018” directly to the working group spokesman Martin Meven.
Further details will be available soon.

In 2017, a satellite workshop took place in Karlsruhe after the DGK annual meeting from March 30th - 31st in collaboration with colleagues from the AK Synchrotron concerning various crystallographic studies related to hot topics in physics, chemistry biology and material sciences combining neutron and synchrotron radiation including a visit on the ANKA synchrotron facility.

In the International Year of Crystallgraphy the work group offered an introductory neutron workshop on March 21st - 22nd about neutron sources, powder and single crystal diffraction, spectroscopy, reflectometry, tomography, material sciences and soft matter and a guided tour through the BERII neutron source of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) including the instrumentation related to these topics.

Im Anschluß an die Laue-Tagung der DGK vom 12. bis 15. März 2012 an der Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität (LMU) in München veranstaltete der Arbeitskeis am 15. und 16. März 2012 den Workshop Neutronenbeugung für Kristallographen.

Der Arbeitskreis veranstaltete im Rahmen der gemeinsamen Jahrestagung der DGK, DMG und ÖMG vom 20. bis 24. September 2011 in Salzburg vom 19. bis 20. September den Workshop Neutronenbeugung in der Kristallographie: Grundlagen und Anwendungen inklusive einer Führung durch die Forschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II).
