Tour to Kyushu Synchrotron Light Research Center in Tosu City
|
In this trip to Kyushu Synchrotron Light Research Center in Tosu City, we examine and understand the research on new functional materials and technologies for solving environmental problems.
|

|
Two topics in applied physics.
|
First Part (Okabe): In the class, students will learn about the principles of atomic-resolution microscopes and their differences from other microscopes.
Second Part (Hidaka): Thermal convection, which plays an important role in the Earth's environment, is demonstrated. Thermal convection is also important as a typical example of spontaneous formation of macroscopic ordered structures (self-organization). Their characteristics are learned through observation of actual thermal convection.
|
First Part (Okabe): Students are required to take a brief quiz in or after the class.
Second Part (Hidaka): After the class investigate the report assignment given in the class.
