Nanoscience Seminar presented at Tokyo University

On November 1, 2013, Volker Rose was invited to present the Nanoscience Seminar at the Institute of Solid State Physics (ISSP) of the University of Tokyo. In his seminar he discussed the physical principles of Synchrotron X-ray Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (SXSTM) as well as the recent progress made by his team at the Advanced Photon Source. He was invited by Prof. Yukio Hasegawa, who himself conducts SXSTM experiment at the Photon Factory in Tsukuba, Japan.

The ISSP serves as the central laboratory of materials science in Japan equipped with state-of-art facilities. It was relocated to the new campus in Kashiwa of the University of Tokyo in 2000 after the 43 years of activities at the Roppongi campus in downtown Tokyo. Here ISSP is focusing on strong interdisciplinary research efforts.
