Crystallography & Novel Materials

Biography

Daniel Chateigner is a specialist in Combined Analysis using X-rays, electron and neutron diffraction. His main activities are two folded: i) push forward the development of Combined measurement and Analysis: texture, structure, crystallite sizes, reflectivity, residual stresses, phase analyses, fluorescence, Raman ..., in a single approach called "Combined Analysis" (ISTE-Wiley 2010). This methodology has been employed in many science fields, from high-tech materials to biomineralisation. ii) developments of Open Databases around crystallography, the largest worldwide Crystallography Open Database (COD www.crystallography.net), the Materials Properties Open Database (MPOD http://mpod.cimav.edu.mx), more recently the Raman Open Database (ROD http://solsa.crystallography.net/rod/) and Theoretical CODs, TCOD (http://www.crystallography.net/tcod/) and PCOD (http://www.crystallography.net/pcod/). In 1996 he worked as research fellow at the University of California at Berkeley (Earth and Planetary Science department, USA) then became Maître de Conférences at Université du Maine (Le Mans, France) where he received his Habilitation diploma. Since 2001 he is Professor at Normandie Université. He gained a PhD in Physics and Crystallography from Université Joseph Fourier (Grenoble) in 1994.
