Summer Workshop on Synchrotron Radiation Applications to Materials Science, Baton Rouge, LA, June 5-10, 2000

表征仍然是开发和理解新材料的基石。在过去的几十年里，充分探测材料物理性质的能力已经从“内部”实验室转向最先进的地区性研究设施(例如中子、强磁场和同步辐射光源)。为了教育和培训年轻的材料科学家掌握最先进的地区性设备表征技术，路易斯安那州立大学先进微结构和器件中心(CAMD)将于2000年6月5日至6月10日举办一期名为“同步辐射应用于材料科学”的暑期班。在这个为期一周的课程中，高级研究生将通过讲座、讨论和实践经验，学习如何以及为什么同步辐射的应用对于各种材料的表征是不可或缺的。CAMD/路易斯安那州立大学的教职员工以及来自全国各地的一些研究人员将进行演讲和主导讨论(总共约25名发言者)。这些学生(约35-45岁)将参加约35小时的讲座/讨论，主题是同步辐射在材料科学研究中的应用，以及在CAMD设施学习实践/技术知识。然后，这些知识可以通过整合同步辐射的独特优势，如路易斯安那州立大学/CAMD等地区实验室的例子，应用于进一步促进参与者的研究计划，以扩大学生作为材料科学家的知识和潜力。%表征仍然是开发和理解新材料的基石。在过去的几十年里，充分探测材料物理性质的能力已经从“内部”实验室转向最先进的地区性研究设施(例如中子、强磁场和同步辐射光源)。为了教育和培训年轻的材料科学家掌握最先进的地区性设备表征技术，路易斯安那州立大学先进微结构和器件中心(CAMD)将于2000年6月5日至6月10日举办一期名为“同步辐射应用于材料科学”的暑期班。在这个为期一周的课程中，高级研究生将通过讲座、讨论和实践经验，学习如何以及为什么同步辐射的应用对于各种材料的表征是不可或缺的。CAMD/路易斯安那州立大学的教职员工以及来自全国各地的一些研究人员将进行演讲和主导讨论(总共约25名发言者)。这些学生(约35-45岁)将参加约35小时的讲座/讨论，主题是同步辐射在材料科学研究中的应用，以及在CAMD设施学习实践/技术知识。然后，这些知识可以通过整合同步辐射的独特优势来应用于进一步的参与者的研究计划，如LSU/CAMD这样的区域实验室，以扩大学生作为材料科学家的知识和潜力。

Characterization remains a cornerstone for the development and understanding of new materials. Throughout the last decades, the ability to adequately probe physical properties of materials has shifted from "in-house" laboratories towards state-of-the-art, regional research facilities (e.g. neutron, high-magnetic field, and synchrotron radiation sources). In an effort to educate and train young materials scientists in state-of-the-art, regional-facility characterization techniques, Louisiana State University's Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD) is hosting a summer school on "Synchrotron Radiation Applications to Materials Science" from June 5 to June 10, 2000. During this one-week course, advanced graduate students will learn, through lectures, discussions, and hands-on practical experience, how and why the application of synchrotron radiation is indispensable to the characterization of a variety of materials. CAMD/LSU faculty, as well as a number of researchers from around the country will give lectures and lead discussions (~ 25 speakers total). The students (~35-45) will take part in approximately 35 hours of lectures/discussions on various topics of the application of synchrotron radiation to materials science research, as well as learn "hands-on" practical/technical knowledge at the CAMD facility. Such knowledge can then be applied to further a participant's research program by integrating the unique advantages of synchrotron radiation, as exemplified by a regional laboratory like LSU/CAMD, to expand the student's knowledge and potential as a materials scientist.%%%Characterization remains a cornerstone for the development and understanding of new materials.
