**Fifth International Conference on\
Synchrotron Radiation in Materials Science**

# SRMS-5 Conference Contributions

## Table of Contents and Program 

### Introduction

Welcome to the 5th International Conference on Synchrotron Radiation in
Materials Science (SRMS-5). This conference, the latest in a series of
international conferences that are held every two years, takes place at
the Drake Hotel in Chicago from July 30 -- August 2, 2006. It brings
together leading edge researchers from around the world and is a
celebration of the strong and increasingly important relationship
between materials science and synchrotron radiation research.

SRMS-5 takes place at a time when a large proportion of the scientific
research at synchrotron user facilities is in materials science and
condensed matter physics. Further, with the rapid increase in interest
in membranes, biomaterials and nanostructured materials, this fraction
can only be expected to grow. It is noteworthy that among the research
papers published during 2005 in the highly cited journals Nature and
Science, 19% and 27% reported on materials research, and of these more
than 25% made use of synchrotron radiation. The aim of SRMS-5 is to
highlight recent breakthroughs in materials science using synchrotron
radiation, and to open doors to future innovation and discovery.

The main organizer of SRMS-5 is the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne
National Laboratory, with a local organizing committee that includes
Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, the Illinois
Institute of Technology, Iowa State University and the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Professor Neville Greaves, University of
Wales (UK), chairs the international advisory committee. Sponsors and
endorsement for SRMS-5 come from Northwestern University, the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at Chicago, the Illinois Institute
of Technology, the National Science Foundation and the University of
Chicago. Corporate sponsors are Blake Industries, Mar USA and Advanced
Design Consulting.

The main topical areas of the conference are polymers and biomaterials,
thin films, electronic materials, surfaces and interfaces, magnetism,
superconductivity, glasses and ceramics, engineering materials,
nanostructured materials and self assembly, high-pressure materials
science and materials under extreme conditions, archeological materials,
catalysis and clusters, quantum dots and wires, complex oxides, and
innovative instrumentation. With research in many of these areas
advancing rapidly, this volume was created to bridge the gap between a
conference program and a conference proceedings appearing six months to
a year after the event. Thanks to the extraordinary support of the
presenters at SRMS-5, this volume includes the locally refereed
conference contributions for nearly 90% of the presentations. This
enables conference attendees to make immediate use of the latest
information in areas highlighted at the conference. There are 35 plenary
and invited talks, 37 contributed talks and 134 poster presentations.
Full color versions of the conference contributions can be viewed and
downloaded from the table below.

We acknowledge the Office of Science in the U.S. Department of Energy
and other U.S. agencies, as well as many governments abroad for their
encouragement and support of materials research at synchrotron radiation
facilities around the world. We also acknowledge the positive influence
of earlier SRMS conferences, and in particular SRMS-IV, in developing
the format of SRMS-5. Many thanks to the many active members of the
international advisory committee and to the local organizing committee,
and in particular Tracey Stancik as conference secretary, Al Macrander
and Dean Haeffner as lead editor and co-editor of this volume, and John
Quintana and George Srajer, for their many efforts and contributions to
the success of this conference and the preparation of this volume.
