Engineering Materials Science using Neutrons and Synchrotron
Module 1. Theory and cases
This advanced course is for researchers and PhD students in the field of Sustainable Materials Engineering. The course has 3 modules: theory and case examples; hands-on exercises at the PETRA III Swedish Materials Science beamline; and, data analysis.
Time: Mon 2024-05-20 09.00 - Thu 2024-05-23 17.00
Location: KTH Royal Institute of Technology or Online
Engineering Materials Science using Neutrons and Synchrotron X-rays is a 5 hp PhD level course providing learners with knowledge of how to apply scattering techniques to applied engineering materials problems. Learners will also gain hands-on experience of scattering measurements and data analysis at the PETRA III Swedish Materials Science beamline. The course comprises lectures, at KTH or online, as well as practical sessions in Hamburg.
This course is also relevant to researchers in institutes and companies whose research outcomes would benefit from applying scattering techniques to study materials engineering phenomena.
Apply here before 8 May.
Course design
The course is organised into three modules:
- Theory and cases. 20-23 May. KTH Royal Institute of Technology or Online
- Hands-on beamline activities at the P21.2 branch of the PETRA III Swedish Materials Science beamline. 3-4 June, Hamburg
- Preliminary data analysis, which will support students make an initial analysis of the captured data. 5 June, Hamburg (Note. CeXS is organising an advanced beamline data analysis course in November.)
