(DCMMP) W3-8 Frontiers of Synchrotron Based Materials Physics | Frontières de la physique des matériaux basée sur le rayonnement synchrotron (DPMCM)

• Feizhou He (Canadian Light Source)

Description

Frontiers of Synchrotron Based Materials Physics (DCMMP) – This symposium will highlight recent advances in synchrotron based science at the Canadian Light Source and facilities around the world. Such large scale facilities enable a wide range of science research on multiple experimental stations (beamlines) operating simultaneously. The beamlines are optimised for select parts of the light spectrum and used in a broad range of experimental techniques including spectroscopy, diffraction, imaging from the macro to the nanoscale and combinations thereof. This symposium will showcase both Canadian and international advances in synchrotron related science. The sessions will be multidisciplinary and designed to be accessible to a wide audience with an interest in materials science, computational physics, instrumentation and accelerator physics. Sponsored jointly by the Canadian Institute of Synchrotron Radiation (CISR) and the Canadian Light Source (CLS).

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Usually a scientist considers of synchrotron light in terms of short-wavelength hard UV or X-ray radiation delivered in a beam of very small diameter. However, the same beam also provides intense and well-collimated radiation of much longer wavelength (~5-300 µm), in the far-infrared spectral region. At the Far-IR beamline of the Canadian Light Source synchrotron we conduct experiments on the...

403. Soft x-ray absorption and scattering studies of quantum materials

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Soft x-ray absorption and scattering at transition metal L2,3 edges has been an extremely prolific method for researchers over the past several decades. Our understanding of the multiplet-dominated lineshapes allows for detailed analyses of oxidation states and charge transfer effects, magnetism, and electronic effects of local site symmetry, for example. However, strongly covalent compounds...
