SPring-8, the large synchrotron radiation facility

Period :    May 21-22, 2008
        *20(Tue.) Registration & Welcome Party/23(Fri.) SPring-8 Site Tour

Abstract:   
This conference is intended to bring together a limited number (20-30) of specialists;
- who grow diamond crystal and carry out the post-growth processing,
- who use diamond crystals (or intended to use them) in 3rd and 4th generation X-ray sources, mainly for X-ray optical elements (monochromators/beam splitter, filters, phase plates/polarizers), but also for electronical applications (detectors, beam-position monitors),
- who may characterize them with respect to their perfection and their degree of coherence preservation.
The goal of the workshop is to define;
- the quantitative and qualitative needs of the 3rd and 4th generation X-ray sources in diamond samples (quantity, dimensions, necessary and tolerable crystal quality (defect structure), including surface quality, for the different applications,
- the status quo and the future trends in the development of the diamond growth technologies to produce crystals that meet the needs of the 3rd and 4th generation X-ray sources,
- the contributions which may be provided by the X-ray sources and experimental techniques installed there, to characterize diamond samples to promote the improvement of the crystal growth technologies according to the needs of the 3rd and 4th generation X-ray sources,
- the possibilities and the way how the industry might satisfy the future needs in high quality synthetic diamond samples of different dimension.
