Zoom webinar | Live stream on Youtube   Peter Fouquet Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), Grenoble, France The European Neutron Source   The development of new materials for “green” energy production and storage is a key activity for the progression towards a circular economy. Neutron spectroscopy provides an ideal supporting tool for this development, because neutrons are […]

Zoom webinar | Youtube video   Giulio Cerullo Politecnico di Milano, Italy   Abstract:  Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy uses sequences of ultra-short light pulses (with femto- to picosecond duration) to study dynamical processes in atoms, molecules, nanostructures and solids by measuring the photoinduced variations of sample absorption. This technique finds broad interdisciplinary applications ranging from […]

Zoom webinar | Replay on YouTube (upcoming)   Matej Gabrijelčič, National Institute of Chemistry, Slovenia   Current research efforts in the field of energy storage are focused on finding alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Among these are sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to the high availability of sodium, its low cost, and suitable redox potential. Hard […]

Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube   Daniela Comelli, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Time-resolved fluorescence imaging is a powerful investigation method for biology and materials science. Excitation is provided by a pulsed laser, while point detectors (e.g. PMT or SPAD) or gated cameras can be used to measure the temporal decay of emission at all […]

Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube   Anna Macková , NPI, Czech Republic Ion beam irradiation is a strong tool for intentional defect engineering in solid matter. If the transferred ion energy exceeds a certain threshold energy, then the atom may be permanently removed from the lattice, which leads to the formation of a defect. […]

Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube   Timur Nikitin CLL, Portugal In the pursuit of sustainability, the circular economy stands out as a transformative approach to resource management, aiming to minimize waste and maximize material reuse. Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive and versatile technique, offers valuable structural insights across a plethora of materials. This presentation will […]

Zoom webinar | Youtube Replay   Sven Luther HZDR, Germany   In this presentation, I will discuss the characterization of materials in extremely high magnetic fields, reaching up to nearly 100 T. The first part of the talk will address the technical challenges associated with generating such high magnetic fields. Within the ReMade@ARI project, two […]

Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube   Kim Nygård, MAX IV, Sweden Small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering (SWAXS) in scanning-imaging mode provides means to locally characterise the nanoscale structure of materials over macroscopic volumes. Here we will introduce the technique, provide a few illustrative examples, and discuss challenges for new users of the technique.

Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube   Cristian Manzoni, IFN-CNR & Polimi, Italy Spectral imaging, also known as imaging spectroscopy, refers to methods and devices for acquiring a complete light spectrum for each point in the image of a scene. It provides much richer information with respect to standard imaging, enabling to identify materials or […]

Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube   Rui Fausto, CLL & UC, Portugal In the last decades, we have assisted to rapid progress on the use of vibrationally-induced chemistry as a powerful tool to manipulate molecular structures in a highly selective way, and on the application of quantum mechanical tunneling as an instrument to explore […]

Zoom webinar   Andreas Stierle, Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron DESY and Universität Hamburg Oxide supported metal nanoparticles play a crucial role as heterogeneous catalysts for many reactions. In conventional x-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments on powder samples the structural analysis is hampered by a random nanoparticle orientation and often by background scattering from the supporting material. We […]

Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube   Mamour Sall, CIMAP (CEA, CNRS, ENSICAEN, Univ. Caen), France The nitride semiconductors, (Al,Ga,In) N present remarkable optical and electronic properties. They have been widely used for optoelectronic applications with high-efficiency blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) structures . Emission at higher wavelength, for […]
