Abstract

Abstract : Funded by an AFOSR Center of Excellence grant, the University of California has conducted research on soft x-ray physics, optics and applications thereof to the physical and life sciences. The work was led by faculty with joint appointments at the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) and the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL). The program involved seven Ph.D. students and 45 undergraduate students from several UCB departments (Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Nuclear Engineering, Biophysics) as well as the new Ph.D. program in Applied Science and Technology. As part of the training program to bring students into this new research area, several new courses have been initiated on the UCB campus: (1) Introduction to X-ray physics and technology (3 units); (2) Soft X-rays, nanostructures and applications (1 unit); (3) X-ray microscopy and EUV lithography (1 unit); and (4) Applied science and technology seminar (1 unit).
