Two topics in applied physics
|
10:30-11:15 Lecture about "Advanced Sensing Technologies - Scanning Probe Microscopy –"
11:15-12:00 Demonstration of Thermal ConvectionSecond 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.
