The Invitation
XAFS(X-ray absorption fine structure) has been established as an important structure analysis tool
for material-, Bio-, enviromental sciences and so on. It provides us structures of catalysts, enzymes
and nanomaterials. The combination of XAFS and diffraction techniques provides us important information.
For example, the combination of low resolution X-ray diffraction and XAFS give equivalent results obtained
using high resolution X-ray diffraction.. The purpose of the Tutorial is to give the general introduction and
analytical ways to crystallographers. The tutorials are open for those who just begin XAFS techniques.
We heartily welcome your participation.

The Tutorial contains
1.General introduction of XAFS,
2.Theory of XAFS,
3.How to analyze EXAFS and practice.
4. Tour in Photon Factory
5. Applications of XAFS.


Registration Fee 30,000 yen(including lodging and Banquet)
You stay at the dormitory in Photon Factory.
