Mandatory SwedNess courses for all SwedNess students
Intro course part 1
The Theoretical part (lectures/exercises) will be given together with the Nordic Neutron Science Program (NNSP).This part will give you 4 ECTS.
The course aims to give the students a introduction to the different fundementals and specific techniques and their applications as you can see in the list below.
Fundamentals | Specific Techniques & their applications |
|---|---|
Introduction to the neutron & neutron sources | Atomic & Magnetic Structure (Diffraction) |
Introduction to Scattering Techniques | Nanostructrures & Interfaces (SANS, NR) |
Understanding Fouries Space | Dynamics: Materials & Excitations (INS, QENS) |
Complementary of X-rays with neutrons | Real Space (Imaging & Tomography) |
Neutron Instrumenation / Sample Environment | Ultra Cold Neutrons |
Acess to facilites / practical safety issues | Isotope production / Isotope labelling |
Intro course part 2
Includes general practial training at three neutron facilites with hands-on training on different instruments / techniques including also sample preperation (holders etc.), sample environment, fundamental data analysis, safety traning etc. Each student should hand in a report on the work performed during this traning with a specific focus on how this can be applied on their own PhD-project. The Hands-on training giving another 4 ECTS.
