Research field
(1)Research field:
Recruitment for an Assistant Principal Researcher
(2)Research theme
Synchrotron-radiation-based materials research towards the development of functional materials
(Summary)
The Materials Sciences Research Center promotes the development and upgrading of synchrotron radiation experimental instruments installed at BL22XU and BL23SU of SPring-8, and also promotes material science that contributes to the implementation in society by using the instruments. Main research theme is the development of new materials based on light element such as carbon and boron, which includes energy-conversion materials utilizing heat as well as radiations emitted from nuclear wastes. Expanding the research field into selective adsorption performance in order to contribute to the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant will be planned. Also, we expect the upgrading and maintenance of the instruments installed at the beamlines together with user support.
