CeXS on the road to Luleå University of Technology
Local laboratories are a useful stepping stone into Sweden's large scale facilities
For researchers in the Luleå area, CeXS and Luleå University of Technology's Jörg Volpp jointly organised a seminar at LTU on 29 November. Twenty-five researchers from LTU, LKAB, SSAB and institutes - representing a diverse range of fields such as ore geology, pellet handling, steel making, wood technology and additive manufacturing - participated.
Illustrated by a range of application examples, the seminar provided an overview of the opportunities that can be gained when using large scale synchrotron facilities such as the MAX IV Laboratory and the PETRA III Swedish Materials Science beamline.
The seminar also included an introduction to LUMIA , the Luleå Material Imaging and Analysis Laboratory, its wide variety of tools for performing micro-analysis of various solid materials in 2D/3D/4D, the access process and services.
This enabled a fruitful discussion about how the research community in the Luleå area could make effective use of local laboratories as a stepping stone into Sweden's synchrotron facilities.
