Workshop #7 at the NSLS Users' Meeting

Nanoprobes for Nanoscience

Location: Bldg. 510, Physics, Lg Seminar Rm

Date: May 19, 2004

Organizers:
Cecilia Sanchez-Hanke, BNL (hanke@bnl.gov)
Peter Sutter, BNL (psutter@bnl.gov)

Description: The goal of the workshop is to explore the scientific opportunities offered by synchrotron-based Nanoprobes, with emphasis on combined Low-Energy/Photo-Electron Microscope (LEEM/PEEM), X-ray Microscope and X-ray Micro-Diffraction. Overview and applications of these techniques will be given by leading experts in the world. Update of beamline/endstation upgrades and the status of BNL Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) will also be presented.
