Exploring Matter with Synchrotron Light - The CDROM
Available for $60 from the AIP
The "Exploring Matter with Synchrotron Light" CDROM is an interactive scientific mini-encyclopedia for
students, teachers, industrialists, scientists as well as the
general public. It features
 640 pages,
 200 2D/3D animations,
 10 minutes of video,
 410 pictures and sketches
It was produced by The European Synchrotron Research
Facility (ESRF) in France, with web links to the following
synchrotrons: Advanced Photon Source in USA, Canadian
Light Source and the SOLEIL Synchrotron in France.
The CDROM won the UNESCO prize for multimedia in science. The selection of the prizewinner
took into account the strength and logic of the contents, the quality and diversity of the information,
the homogeneity between the images, sound and text and the relevance and elegance of the navigation
method.
The topics covered on the CDROM are:

Interaction between light and matter (Nature of Light. Properties of Light. X-Rays. Synchrotron
Light. Atoms. Interatomic Bonds. Order and Disorder. Properties of Matter.)
 Technology of light sources (Physical Basis. Injection. Storage Rings. Optics. Sample. Detectors.
Data Acquisition.)
 Experimental methods for studying matter (X-ray Imaging. X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy. Xray Scattering. X-Ray Diffraction.)
 Scientific applications (Surfaces. Magnetism. Extreme Conditions. Materials. Biology. Medicine.
Chemistry. Environment.)
 Synchrotron Facility presentations.
Over the page is a Table of the Contents for the first of these topics with content from VCE Physics:
Unit 1 and 4 Physics and Chemistry .
The AIP (Vic Branch) Education Committee has been able to take advantage of the bulk discount
offered by the distributors. Copies are available to schools for $60.
