"Introduction of Neutron and X ray scattering (mainly neutron) for material science"

Neutron source (Reactors and Pulsed sources)
Important characters of neutrons for materials science, such as lights atom, magnetic moments, scale of energy and (measurements of phonon and magnon), large penetration depth and so on.
Basic explanation of neutron science, such as diffraction, inelastic scattering, radiography, rapid prompt gamma-ray
Principle of diffraction (Bragg scattering)

Generation of X-ray (Difference of Synchrotron Radiation X-ray and Lab. Instruments)
Basic lecture of X-ray diffraction, mainly Synchrotron Radiation X-ray (diffraction, inelastic scattering, resonant X-ray scattering RIXS, XAFS)
What we can do using Synchrotron Radiation X-ray
Imortance of Dynamics investigations by Synchrotron Radiation X-ray
What is the difference from neutrons scattering: advantage of X-ray, and complementarity investigations.
