*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
This event aims to bring together researchers from across GT around the topic of energy-tunable and high-flux x-ray research infrastructure at GT. Energy-tunable x-ray infrastructure allows for unique measurements of materials structure and chemistry such as x-ray absorption, anomalous x-ray diffraction, high q-space pair distribution function, photon-in/photon-out operando experiments, and elemental contrast x-ray microscopy. The workshop has the dual purpose of: 1) uniting the interested parties to discuss further development, including plans for an NSF Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure proposal, and 2) training our current and future users on the data reduction, analysis (including fitting to models), and interpretation x-ray absorption spectra obtained at our benchtop easyXAFS instrument.
Morning session:
Presentation of current capabilities.
Presentation of potential target areas.
Discussion on NSF Midscale Research Infrastructure (breakout session).
Afternoon session:
Presentation of XAS and XES analytical tools (hardware and software).
Workshop on Demeter, and XAS analysis software package Athena and Artemis.
Hands-on work with real data using Athena and Artemis (data reduction and data modeling/fitting).
Led By: Faisal Alamgir, Professor; School of Materials Science & Engineering
