Scope of the conference
This conference is intended
to bring together a limited number (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.
Goal of the conference
The goal 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.
Dates
20-23 May 2008
Venue
The conference venue is the
Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center on Awaji Island. It
is located 30 minutes from Kobe and 90 minutes from Kansai
International Airport (KIX) by bus, via Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, the
longest suspension bridge in the world.
