Welcome to the Course in "Neutrons for Sustainable Energy [5 ECTS]" |
|
We are pleased to announce this SwedNess course in Neutrons for Sustainable energy that will take place at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, from 8-12 December 2025. The course is aimed at PhD students with some basic knowledge in scattering techniques. However, we also welcome MSc Students and Postdocs, as well as persons without prior experience in neutron scattering. The course if fully open and free of charge to academia, institutes and industry (also outside Sweden). However, you need to cover your own travel and accommodation to/in Stockholm.
The course will start with a brief introduction to neutron scattering and sustainable energy, as well as fundamental electrochemistry. It will further cover some of the most important technologies (e.g. rechargeable batteries, H-storage, photovoltaics, etc.) and how neutrons can assist the development within these important fields. For more details, see the Program.
After the course, the participants should have acquired an in-depth knowledge in the functionality of, current challenges for, and how state-of-the-art neutron techniques are crucial for the development of the following sustainable energy devices:
All neutron techniques will be showcased, however, a few extra lectures will be dedicated to selected specialized methods, including polarized neutron scattering and novel imaging/tomography techniques, as well as complementary muon-based techniques. Representatives from two of the leading international neutron sources will also showcase absolute state-of-the-art possibilities that are coming online for next generation's research community. Finally, the students will also gain fundamental knowledge in how computer modeling and AI tools complement the experimental techniques/data. Please note that there is no registration fee, but to join the school you still need to Register Here. |
