As conditions evolve with the Covid-19 pandemic, we will continue to ensure that the health and safety of our attendees, staff, and operational personnel in the upcoming PNCMI are our top priority. Please continue to refer to the CDC website for up-to-date requirements to enter the United States. We are pleased to announce that PNCMI 2022 is planned to be held from July 25th to 29th, 2022 at the Graduate Annapolis Hotel in Annapolis, Maryland. Additional information about PNCMI 2022 will be available shortly.
You can also access the recordings from the virtual PNCMI 2021 conference hosted July 27th to 30th, 2021. Please visit the PNCMI 2021 website for more information.
About Polarized Neutrons for Condensed-Matter Investigations (PNCMI)
The conference will cover the latest condensed-matter investigations using polarized neutrons and state-of-the-art methodologies and techniques of polarized-neutron production and utilization for novel instrumentation and experiments, with emphasis on prospects for new science and instrument concepts as well as combining neutrons with complementary techniques and in-situ secondary measurements.
PNCMI is the most comprehensive conference on the latest scientific research using polarized neutrons and on related instrumentation development. The topics will include:
- Multiferroics and chirality
- Strongly correlated electron systems
- Frustrated and disordered systems
- Quantum materials
- Magnetic nanomaterials
- Thin films and multilayers
- Soft matter
- Imaging
- Polarized neutron instrumentation
- Polarized neutron techniques and methods
The conference will include a tour of the polarized-neutron facilities at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. There will also be a Polarized Neutron School for North American applicants held before the main meeting at the NCNR.
