报告摘要： 

Neutron and synchrotron x-ray facilities are indispensable scientific resources and provide powerful instruments and experimental techniques for both fundamental and applied researches. Neutrons and X-rays interact with matter in different ways, thus are often used as complementary tools for studying materials at the electronic, atomic and molecular levels. In this talk, we will discuss the difference and similarity of neutrons and synchrotron x-rays, and their complementary use in materials research. We will present their applications in materials research and development, covering fields of correlated electron systems, energy storage, nanoscience and advanced engineering materials etc. Finally, future perspectives and challenges of neutron and synchrotron techniques for materials science will be discussed.
