1. 開課緣由 (Purpose):
<br>    
<br>    鑒於國內材料、生物科學、化學、物理、綠色能源(太陽能電池、燃料電池、鋰電池)、環境科學、奈米科學等材料相關領域對X光吸收光譜技術的殷切需求，在研究上不論是數據分析以及基本原理與對應的應用領域以及具備此分析方法的人才仍有極大不足，因此規畫開設此課程。本課程與 “同步加速器在材料科學應用” 的內容有顯著差異，該課程內容偏重同步輻射各種技術概論，課程由同步輻射中心各光束線發言人或科學家講授。而本課程則著重X光吸收光譜原理與實務的技術分析能力的養成，本課程將以同步輻射光譜原理出發，並講授在材料、能源科學以及環境科學各領域的相關應用與方法，其中亦將邀請國內光譜模擬分析的專家給予建議與授課，相信不論對本系或是本校在材料分析方法與元素光譜分析相關研究的學員將有實質的助益。
