SHORT TERM COURSE ON SMALL ANGLE X-RAY SCATTERING (SAXS)- A NOBLE SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO NANOTECHNOLOGY
26th - 30th MAY, 2008
INTRODUCTION
The importance of Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) to the development of modern technology can be appreciated best by considering its wide spread influence on physics, chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, biological and medical sciences.
It is amazing that an analytical technique (SAXS) developed in the early parts of 20th century is still so important and advancing so rapidly. Modern crystallography like protein crystallography among others is no more just structure determination nor is it just fundamental knowledge. Crystal structure analysis is done with application in mind. It provides answer to specific problems, leads to new product and opens new perspectives. The application of SAXS technique leads to abundant opportunities and challenges.
With the advent of different processing techniques to produce nano materials, it is necessary to create awareness amongst the scientist regarding scope and potential of SAXS technique to characterize these materials. Moreover the statistical averaging the nano order structure is predominated by SAXS technique over electron microscopy. It is with this view; the proposed short term course has been planned. Lectures on various aspects of advanced SAXS techniques, GISAXS, USAXS and ASAXS have been included in addition to the presentation on processing aspects of nano materials.
The lectures of the course have been structured to blend the fundamental concepts and methodology of SAXS technique for upgrading the knowledge of scientists and technologists responsible for quality of nano materials.
SCOPE OF THE COURSE
The course has been structured to blend the fundamental concepts and methodologies with advanced innovative techniques of SAXS for upgrading the knowledge of persons responsible for controlling the quality of life and materials. The most advanced techniques under SAXS and its approach to solve various problems of nanotechnology are included in the course with special emphasis on industrial and medical applications. Besides class room teaching there are also experimental demonstration are important features of the course.
It is expected the participants from academic institution, R&D organization as well as professional scientists and engineers will be highly benefited by the course.
