W.G. Stirling (Directeur général ESRF, Grenoble) invité par Denis Raoux
Vendredi 17 février à 15H - Salle du RdC du Pavillon d'Accueil
X-rays have long been one of the major tools used in the characterisation and investigation of materials. Synchrotron light sources with high brilliance X-ray beams provide a very wide range of techniques for microscopic studies in materials science. In the first part of this talk, I will introduce the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. A large number of the ESRF’s 40 beamlines are involved in materials science research. In the second part of the talk illustrative examples will be presented of materials science research at the ESRF employing methods including diffraction, EXAFS, magnetic scattering, inelastic scattering and imaging.
I will conclude with a brief description of the ESRF’s plans for the future, the “Long-Term Strategy”.
