SR is very powerful light ranging from infrared light to ultraviolet light to x-ray. At the SR center in this campus, we easily access this useful light. Selecting an appropriate light through a beam line from SR, an element-specific excitation is realized, such as C, N, O in organic materials, Si in semiconductors, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni in magnetic devices, and so on. So, we can obtain the information of the element we want to know in the functional materials. 

In addition, a polarization of SR light leads to an atomic-orbital-specific excitation. This enables us to know the orientation of the functional atomicorbital.
