The 6^th International Conference on Graphene and Novel Nanomaterials
(GNN 2024)

Abstract: In the field of advanced materials exploration, researchers have traditionally relied on conventional methods and have been hesitant to adopt advanced approaches to uncover new knowledge and insights. However, accelerator-based techniques offer significant benefits in terms of research data and a deeper understanding of scientific issues in materials science.
This presentation will briefly discuss the various accelerator-based techniques that can benefit material characterizations using synchrotron radiation, neutron, ion, and electron beams, and will compare these with conventional techniques.
The primary aim of this presentation is to raise awareness of these advanced accelerator-based techniques for materials investigation and to identify opportunities for worldwide access to these techniques, thereby driving innovation in materials research.
