<str<strong>on</strong>g>8th</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>ference</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> Fast Field Cycling NMR Relaxometry
We are very pleased to welcome you to Turin from May 23 to 25, 2013. The 8 th <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>ference</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> Fast Field Cycling NMR Relaxometry will be a good occasi<strong>on</strong> for exchanging new ideas <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> presenting numerous <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> varied applicati<strong>on</strong>s in a very open field of interest. As in the past, this 8 th c<strong>on</strong>ference is gathering people with active interests in nuclear <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> electr<strong>on</strong> spin relaxati<strong>on</strong>, fast magnetic field switching experiments, low field magnetic res<strong>on</strong>ance, nuclear quadrupole res<strong>on</strong>ance <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> magnetic res<strong>on</strong>ance imaging. The discussi<strong>on</strong> will focus <strong>on</strong> nuclear magnetic field cycling experimental techniques, data interpretati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> theory, as well as applicati<strong>on</strong>s performed by other low-frequency <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> time-domain <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> low resoluti<strong>on</strong> NMR techniques. Topics range from experimental issues, interpretative foundati<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> applicati<strong>on</strong>s in a variety of materials including but not restricted to solids, porous <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> heterogeneous systems, polymers, liquid crystals, biological <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> diagnostics. The First symposium <strong>on</strong> Field Cycling NMR Relaxometry was held in Berlin 1998, with the purpose of bringing together all the researchers practicing FC methods with those who do not yet but are interested in applying this technique in the future, forming a discussi<strong>on</strong> forum promoting <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> cultivating the descripti<strong>on</strong> of molecular moti<strong>on</strong>s in complex system by spectral densities in relati<strong>on</strong> to recent c<strong>on</strong>densed matter theories <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> disseminati<strong>on</strong> of the informati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> the technique as well as the potential of its applicati<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> it proved to be a big success. http://www.ffcrelax.com/ffcrelax/mainpage.php?folder=history&page=index.php The following c<strong>on</strong>ferences, held in Torino in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> 2011 were aimed at strengthening the interacti<strong>on</strong> between FC users from different scientific areas, stimulating the exchange of new ideas <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> technical features. In 2009, the 6 th symposium was particularly special in keeping with these objectives <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> the First Summer School <strong>on</strong> Field Cycling NMR Relaxometry was held in Mede (PV) - Italy in June 2009. This NMR School was intended to be a comprehensive introducti<strong>on</strong> to NMR Field Cycling <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> NMR Relaxometry with the aim of enabling researchers of any scientific discipline to be able to apply the excepti<strong>on</strong>al capacity of field cycling technology in their work. http://www.ffcrelax.com/schoolNMR/home.php As in the past, the meeting will provide a most opportune setting for discussi<strong>on</strong> by scientists from a broad range of disciplinary <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> geographic origins. Chemists, physicists <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> engineers will exchange ideas while incubating the seeds for the future development of the technique <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> its applicati<strong>on</strong>s. The meeting has turned out to be a unique forum for the discussi<strong>on</strong> of newly emerging <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> traditi<strong>on</strong>al methods while empowering innovative developments to ever more complex <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> challenging applicati<strong>on</strong>s. The c<strong>on</strong>ference will focus <strong>on</strong> the most recent developments, with sessi<strong>on</strong>s devoted to some of the most exciting <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> topical aspects of the technique by world leaders in the respective disciplines. It will provide unique opportunities for young graduate students <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> postdocs to discussi<strong>on</strong> their research with leaders in the field. We hope that all attendees of the 8 th <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>ference</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> Fast Field Cycling NMR Relaxometry enjoy the sessi<strong>on</strong>s, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> that much fruitful cross-relaxati<strong>on</strong> will occur am<strong>on</strong>g the many disciplines represented at the meeting.
