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 | |
|---|---|
| Visit SPring-8, the world's top-class third-generation large-scale synchrotron radiation facility, and hold lectures and group classes on X-ray diffraction, scattering, and spectroscopy using state-of-the-art equipment together with researchers working at the facility. (Note that this class does not involve actual experiments using synchrotron radiation.) This class will be held for four days from mid-August to early September (the schedule for 2024 will be decided around June). This course is not only a lecture, but also a lecture through a tour of equipment related to the lecture. Students will not only theoretically understand the basic principles of synchrotron radiation, but also the principles of various measurement methods that are important for material science and life science research, and the physical quantities obtained from them. You will be able to understand how to use synchrotron radiation for new discoveries in scientific 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. |
