Dear Colleagues

We would like to draw you attention and invite your to contribute to Session 6a «Handling structural complexity: theoretical and experimental methods applied to unravel structural hierarchies» at the forthcoming European Mineralogical Conference (EMC2012) in Frankfurt/Main (Germany), 2-6 September 2012 (http://emc2012.uni-frankfurt.de/).

The session is part of a Theme 6 on «Mineralogical crystallography» and will showcase recent research on structural complexities in minerals and their mutual relations; applications of experimental and computational tools for research in structural complexities; and approaches in modelling of structural hierarchies and crystal-chemistry of complex structures.

Keynote speaker Enrico Mugnaioli (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz) will give a talk on «Electron Diffraction Tomography as a tool for unraveling pseudosymmetries and intergrowth phases at the nanoscale: charoite and M2O-Al2O-WO3 system»

Deadline for abstract submission is 15.05.2012.

Conveners:
Tonci Balic-Zunic (Copenhagen, Denmark)
Fernando Cámara (Torino, Italy)
Oleg Siidra (St.Petersburg, Russia)
