此計畫主因國科會基於推動中子散射應用實驗，於 2005 年6 月8 日簽訂台澳中子束應用研究協議。依據該協議書，由國科會提供經費，經由中央大學李文獻教授所主持之中子散射設施建置計畫與運作推廣計畫，在位於澳洲雪梨附近的原子核科學與技術組織ANSTO，興建一部新一代冷中子三軸散射儀SIKA，完成後，台灣據而獲得一部儀器的70%使用時間，該儀器使用時間得分散於其他類型的中子散射儀。依規劃，澳洲核反應爐每年運行340 天，SIKA 運作後，台灣即可使用ANSTO 所運作的中子散射儀總共240 天之實驗時間，包括各類繞射儀、散射儀及反射儀等，提供國內各領域研究團隊使用。本個別計劃的任務在於協助推廣中子散射實驗中之反射儀實驗，藉由協助中子學會開設中子散射研習學校、輔助同步輻射中心的中子用戶會議、教導用戶從事中子反射實驗數據分析及協助用戶撰寫中子反射實驗申請計畫等，以發展出能有效運作的用戶安排計劃，並進一步在現場協助用戶安全及有效率地運作ANSTO 之中子反射儀PLATYPUS 且建立台灣的研究團隊，以期在三年計畫完成後，台灣中子束實驗設施SIKA 及ANSTO 所有之反射儀PLATYPUS 能被國內研究及產業團隊有效利用，從事尖端研究，並發展出適於國內研究生態的用戶計劃。除了推廣及協助中子反射儀之運作，主持人之科學研究亦可增加反射儀使用情況及累積更多實務經驗，藉由與國內各領域專家學者之合作，引導他們進入中子反射實驗之領域，將進而增加更多的台灣研究團隊。According to the Agreement “Memorandum of understanding between the Australian Commerce and Industry Office and the National Science Council of Taiwan for technical cooperation on neutron beam applications research”, signed on June 8, 2005, NSC is responsible to (1) provide funding and complete construction of a cold neutron triple-axis spectrometer (CNTAS) named as SIKA at the OPAL reactor of ANSTO, and (2) provide human resources at the level of 4 persons plus local administrative support for the operation of the CNTAS after commissioning. A 70% of one instrument time, which may be distributed over the full set of neutron beam instruments of ANSTO including diffractometers, spectometers and reflectometer, will then be allocated for the NSC related scientists. To fulfill and make the most of the Agreement, the integrated proposal aims to build up a “Taiwan neutron beam application station” at ANSTO for Taiwan community, and plans to execute the following projects: (1) manage the operation of SIKA and other instruments; (2) set up instrument scientist teams; and (3) run users’ programs to support neutron scattering experiments to be conducted on SIKA, and on all instruments of ANSTO. In this individual proposal, we focus on how to utilize the reflectometer (PLATYPUS) in ANSTO comprising three missions: (1) help scientist teams from Taiwan to use PLATYPUS safely and efficiently; (2) help scientist teams from Taiwan to write a good proposal to apply for beam time in PLATYPUS; and (3) teach scientists and students from Taiwan to analyze the data obtained from PLATYPUS experiments. In addition, to more understand the mechanisms of reflectometer, and gain more experiences on PLATYPUS, we will conduct some researches principally on the topic “Interfacial spin-structure in novel oxide superlattices and heterostructures” by using PLATYPUS. 研究期間：10108 ~ 10207
