Overview
By following this Applications of X-ray and Neutron Scattering in Biology, Chemistry and Physics course at the University of Copenhagen the students will:
- be introduced to scattering methods, including diffraction, small angle scattering, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS), inelastic neutron scattering, including examples from biological and soft matter, materials chemistry and physics
- develop an intuitive view of the application of these scattering methods to solve their own research questions
- have access to hands-on exercise, including proposal writing, data analysis and presentation of data
- participate on hands-on experiments at the DTU Imaging facility and at MAX-IV (the latter to be confirmed)
- have a tour of MAX-IV facility in Lund, Sweden.
Skills:
The student will develop a solid knowledge (i) of the basic concepts of scattering and (ii) of different experimental scattering methods and respective data analysis.
Competences:
- Be able to participate in experiments at large scale facilities
- Be able to perform simple data analysis on data from large scale facilities
- Be able to apply scattering and imaging techniques to own research
- Be able to write his/her own application for beam time for a large scale facility
Programme Structure
By the end of this course you will:
- Be oriented on the basic physical principles for X-ray and neutron scattering and imaging
- Be oriented on basic experimental methods used at large scale facilities
- Understand elastic, inelastic, coherent and incoherent scattering processes
- Be oriented in how scattering and imaging techniques can be applied to soft materials and hard condensed matter
