Synchrotron:
Electromagnetic radiation emitted when charged
particles are accelerated radially is called Synchrotron
Radiation.
A synchrotron produces light by using radio frequency
waves and powerful electro-magnets to accelerate
electrons to nearly the speed of light.
Energy is added to the electrons as they accelerate so
that, when the magnets alter their course, they
naturally emit a very brilliant, highly focused light.

Types of Synchrotron:
1) Electron Synchrotrons.
2) Proton Synchrotrons.
Application in Nano-Technology:
Synchrotron Radiation is name given to electromagnetic
radiation in the x-ray, ultraviolet, visible and infrared
realms produced by electrons circulating in a storage ring
at nearly the speed of light. This extremely bright light
can be used to investigate various forms of matter ranging
from objects of atomic and molecular size to man-made
materials with unusual properties.
 The obtained information and knowledge is of value to
society, with impact in areas such as the environment,
future technologies, health, and education.
Application in Nano-Technology:
“Synchrotron radiation has become a research tool of
wide application. Physicists, chemists, biologists,
geologists, engineers, material scientists, and other
scientific discipline use it as a structural probe for the
study of surfaces, bulk material, crystals, and viruses”.
Application in Nano-Technology:
“Not to mention solids, liquids and gases can be
spectroscopically analyses by using synchrotron
radiation”.
Protein Crystallography:
Synchrotron radiation provides a source of high
intensity, wavelength tunable, highly collimated
radiation which can be used to investigate structure-
function relationships in biological macromolecules in
a number of ways.
