Special Program for Engineering 002
| Course Purpose |
|---|
| The purpose of this lecture is to acquire practical skills for advanced synchrotron radiation (SR) analysis through special lectures at the world's largest synchrotron radiation facility, SPring-8. |
| Learning Goals |
| On successful completion of this course, students should be able to: 1) explain basic principles of SR, 2) explain basic measurement techniques of SR, and 3) explain the importance and necessity of SR analysis in cutting-edge science and technology. |
| Overview for each class | |
|---|---|
| Participants will visit SPring-8, a world-class third-generation large-scale synchrotron radiation facility, and will participate in lectures and group training on X-ray diffraction, scattering, and spectroscopy using cutting-edge equipment together with researchers working at the facility (please note that this class will not involve actual experiments using synchrotron radiation). This class will be held for four days from mid-August to early September (the 2025 schedule will be decided around June). In addition to lectures, training will be provided through tours of equipment related to the lectures. Participants will not only gain a theoretical understanding of the basic principles of synchrotron radiation, but also the principles of various measurement methods important for material science and life science research and the physical quantities obtained from them. In addition, through group training, they will understand how to use synchrotron radiation to make new discoveries in material science and life science research. | |
| Study Required outside Class | Four days of lectures and group lectures will be held at SPring-8, the world's largest synchrotron radiation facility. In order not to waste precious opportunities, please conduct sufficient preliminary research on SPring-8 and the science that SPring-8 has revealed. |
