ICNX2011
International Conference on Neutron and X-ray
Scattering (ICNX2011)
June 27-July
1, 2011
National Tsing Hua
University, Hsinchu,
Taiwan
Organizers
and sponsors:
National Tsing Hua University (NTHU)
National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC)
Crystallographic Committee, Academia Sinica
Asian Oceania Neutron Scattering Association (AONSA)
National Science Council, Taiwan
Introduction:
The 3rd
ICNX conference will take place from 27th of June to 1st of July,
2011 at Hsinchu, Taiwan. It is jointly organized mainly
by National Tsing Hua University,
and National Synchrotron Radiation Research. Previous conferences
in this series were held in Serpong and Bandung,
Indonesia ICNX2007 and Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia,
ICNX2009.
The main topics of the conference:
- Membranes
and interfaces of soft condensed matter
-
Magnetism and highly correlated systems
- Time
resolved in-situ studies and dynamics
- Nanostructured or thin film materials
-
Coherent X-ray scattering and imaging
-
Instrumentation and theory developments
-
Industrial applications using scattering methods
- X-ray
and neutron complementary crystallography
-
Opportunities from new facilities
Objective:
The objective of this conference is to bring together
scientists who develop neutron and X-ray scattering instruments and methods,
perform characterization experiments and data analysis on soft and solid state
matter. The complementary applications of using X-ray and neutron beam give a
better view of the structures of condensed matter. We hope to attract more international
users to exchange more brilliant ideas for the new scattering facilities during
this meeting.
Conference
Venue
The conference will be held at auditorium room of the
Department of Engineering and System Science of National Tsing
Hua University (NTHU), Hsinchu, Taiwan. Hsinchu is a scientific city, 40 km south to the CKS international airport,
and 70 km from Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan. Hsinchu is a historical city
with a population of 360K, while more than 130K people are working in the Hsinchu Scientific Park. Both Taiwan synchrotron radiation facility
and the nuclear reactor are within a walking distance from NTHU. This year, the
NTHU celebrates her 100th birthday since founded in Beijing in 1911.

Publication:
An abstract book will be provided during the meeting.
The proceeding with full length papers of either oral contributions or poster
presentations will be published in CD. Selected papers will be reviewed and
published in a special issue of SCI journal (Chinese J. Physics). For more information of the publication on Chinese J Physics.
Please check http://psroc.phys.ntu.edu.tw/cjp/
or google-Chinese J Phyiscs.
In principle, the maximum pages is 12 pages for invited speakers, and 8 pages
for contribute presenter. (Remark: The page format of Chinese J. Physics is a
single column with larger character size). The deadline of submission the
manuscript was extended to August 1, 2011. Peer review will be proceeded after the submission. Copy right transfer will
also be required.
Foreign
Student Traveling Support:
There is no student traveling support in ICNX2011 from
International Atomic Energy Agency, because, currently, Taiwan is not a member
of United National.
Internet connection:
For each registration person, a wireless website user
name and password will be given during the registration. It can be connected
anywhere inside the Engineering and System Science building. In auditorium
room, there is a 110 V power plug to your notebook at each chair. There is also
a public PC room with 30 internets connected PC operated in Chinese Microsoft
XP system in Room ESS200 during the office hours for you to use.
Excursion:
On the afternoon of July1, a business visit
to NSRRC will be arranged. Afterwards, the bus will stop by the old town San-Xia
(www.sanchiaoyung.com.tw) or Yingge ceramics museum (www.ceramics.tpc.gov.tw/Index.ycm) staying
for 90 min and then go to Taipei. For participants who booked
a hotel in Taipei, can get-off the tour bus at the following stops: Taipei 101,
Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Taipei Railroad Station and Shih-Lin Night
Market. The tour bus will leave for NTHU/Hsinchu
at 21:30 from the Shih-Lin Night Market, Taipei.
Social
Program:
Welcome Reception: 17:30-19:30 (June 27) at Department of Engineering
and System Science, National Tsing Hua University.
Banquet: 18:30-19:30 (June 30) at Feng-Yun Building, National Tsing
Hua University.
Tours for accompanying persons (tentative schedule,
cancelled if less than four persons):
Half day walking tour around the NTHU and NCTU: 14:00-17:00 (June 28)
To Chess Pavilion, Mei Lake, Mei Garden, Cheng-Kung Lake and
Chu-Lake at NCTU.
One day Taipei city tour: 9:10-18:00 (June 29), by public transportation,
To National Palace Museum,
Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and Taipei 101.
Half day Hsinchu City walk: 9:10-12:00 by public transportation,
To East Gate, City-God
Temple and Glass museum.
Traveling
information;
The weather in Taiwan during the end of June is about 25-35℃. The electricity and plug (type A and B) is similar
to the type used in USA, 110V/60 Hz. There will be no tip needed for the taxi, restaurant
and hotel room in Taiwan. The service charge usually included in the listed
price. Of cause if you are willing to pay the tip, they will accept anyway. To
buy something, most of big store opened at 10:00 and closed at 22:00 every day.
Many convenient stores open 24 h at almost every corner in the city. Usually,
the price in big department store or supermarket is not negotiable. However,
for a traditional market, you can ask for a small discount if you buy more. The
taxi (yellow cab), is very convenient in Taiwan, they are charged according to
the standard taxi-driver’s meter. However, for a long distance drive, negotiate
the price with the taxi driver is a better way to save your money.
Money Exchange:
The exchange rate is about 1 US$=NT$28.5-NT$29 (New
Taiwan Dollars). Many banks and major hotels in Taiwan provide the money
exchange service. The banking hour is 9:00-15:30 Monday-Friday. The most
convenient place to exchange the money is at airport. The same exchange rate is
fixed for each bank across the Taiwan. Service charge, about NT$100 each time,
might be applied.
Transportation
information: update June 4, 2011
The best way to National Tsing Hua University and to the
closest Hotel (Taiwan Hsinchu Berkeley Hotel) across
the street of National Tsing Hua
Univeristy is by Taiwan High speed railway (THSR) as
following:
For most travelers, first, go to bank to exchange
the NT$ money for whole period in Taiwan you need. Then, go to the bus ticket
offices in the airport, looking for U-bus ticket booth. Buy the ticket to Taoyuan high speed railway station. It is Route 705; the
bus leaving time is printed on the ticket; the bus interval is 10-15 min. It
takes 20 min to reach Taoyuan high speed railway
station without stop. Go outside the building and looking for the bus stop of Route
705. The U-bus is a green bus. (Most of the routines of bus go to Taipei. If
you take the wrong bus to Taipei, then, ask information desk about how to get Hsinchu by bus or by THSR from Taipei to Hsinchu after arriving Taipei bus station) Then, take the south bound high speed train
to Hsinchu station (one stop, ticket fare will be NT$125-
non-reservation or NT$130- seat reservation, 15 min). Buy the one way ticket to
Hsinchu from the vending machine or the counter (no
discount for round trip). The passenger who purchased non-reserved ticket
should go to train 9,10,11. After arriving Hsinchu high speed railway station, take exit 4, walk 60
meters south to the shuttle bus station. Take the free shuttle bus (route no.
2, leave every 20 min.) to the National Tsing Hua University. Your Hotel (Taiwan Hsinchu
Berkeley Hotel) is only 20 meters east from the bus stop of National Tsing Hua University. The free shuttle
bus takes 20 min at the third stops (1. Hakke Village; 2. National Chia-Tung
University; 3. National Tsing
