"Applications of Neutrons and Photons to Nanotechnology"
Neutron and Synchrotron Large Scale facilities offer outstanding research capabilities in a wide variety of scientific fields. Thousands of scientists from universities, industry, and national laboratories use these facilities every year. This school aims to provide young researchers insight to effectively use the complex and sophisticated instruments available at these facilities. All of the grand challenges in nanotechnology have as overriding themes the need to determine the structure over a wide range of length scales and to understand how the combination of the structure and dynamics leads to their unique properties. Both x-rays and neutrons cover all the length scales of interest in nanoscience, from the atomic structure of individual building blocks to the configuration of assembled, functional structures, making them essential tools for the elucidation of these challenges. |
