Overview

Covering a spectral range of more than 7 orders of magnitude from hard X-rays to the far infrared with highly brilliant polarized radiation, synchrotron radiation is a prime tool for the characterization of materials and processes as well as for the structuring of materials by lithography and synchrotron-radiation-assisted etching and deposition. Even new composite materials such as electromagnetic metamaterials have been produced by means of synchrotron radiation more recently.

This symposium solicits presentations dealing with the generation and application of synchrotron radiation for the purpose of characterizing, modifying or creating materials and relevant processes in the whole range of fields extending from archaeology and artworks over bioengineering, chemical and environmental science and engineering, data storage, forensics, life sciences, materials science and engineering, micro/nanomanufacturing, nano science and technology to physics and zoology.
