1st meeting on advanced pulsed-neutron research on quantum functions in nano-scale materials

IMW class pulsed neutron source will be built in three places in the world, Japan, USA and England, from 2006 to 2007. In order to discuss how to study and develop each subject, the meeting was held at KEK, Japan, in August 19 to 20, 2004. The subjects of pulse neutron diffraction experiments in the joint project between Japan and England in the 2004 fiscal year are reported, too. The meeting included six parts such as the multi-dimensional accurate X-ray structure analysis of surface and interface quantum tissue structure, the quantum tissue structure and dynamics in non-uniform system, the quantum tissue structure of green products and its expression mechanism of various functions, the oxide high temperature superconductor, the development of device and the bio-molecular network based on hydrogen binding.
