The Applications of Hard X-ray Synchrotron Radiation in Nano-Material Researches

摘要

The development of synchrotron radiation in Taiwan has been proceed for 22 years since the first beam of Taiwan Light Source (TLS) opened to user in 1994. The new facility, Taiwan Photon Source (TPS), opened to user start from September 2016. TPS is a 3 GeV synchrotron facility with the best brightness light of the medium energy synchrotron light over the world. The most promising characters of TPS are its narrow beam emittance, only 1.6 nm.rad, and its coherence. The beam size can be easily focus down to few tens nanometer and quite suitable for nano probe of image. In this article, we will describe the development of synchrotron radiation in Taiwan and the applications of high resolution powder X-ray diffraction to nano-material researches. Some other X-ray analysis methods are also discussed.
