📅 Event: X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) Data Analysis Workshop.

The workshop is intended for new users of Diamond spectroscopy beamlines will mainly focus on how to process and analyse EXAFS data from a 'starting from scratch' level.

📢Benedikt Klein, Dylan Morgan, Matthias Kahk, and Reinhard Maurer have done exceptional work in creating a guide on ΔSCF calculations for X-ray spectroscopy within FHI-aims, for both periodic and aperiodic systems. Thank you! 🎉
Access the tutorial here: fhi-aims-club.gitlab.io/tutorials/core….

We'll be going live on 15 May at 4pm BST to explore the utility of lab XAS as an everyday tool for materials characterisation. Join us for free to hear from the experts at easyXAFS, then submit your questions and get answers in real-time! #ad

Strongly recommend! This looks like a great event.

CONEXS Such a shame I could not make it!!! Aim to engage more in future as truly enhancing theory-experiment collaboration is crucial in spectroscopy, more so in Operando spectroscopy!

2 fabulous days coming to an end here at Research Complex at Harwell . Highly recommend anyone looking for theoretical modelling of xray spectroscopies get in touch with CONEXS to find out about the amazing possibilities within the UK HPC!

A sign for all the exciting projects we will discuss tomorrow.

Some great insights and food for thought. Still so much to do to enhance experiment-theory collaboration.

Day 1 of the CONEXS sandpit at Research Complex at Harwell 🙌 Kicking us off is Tom Penfold from Newcastle University giving an introduction to HPC-CONEXS 💪 Our main goal is to bring theorists and experimentalists together to drive progress in our understanding and application of spectroscopy

It started! Our event with CONEXS Harwell XPS ! :) we have a very dedicated Mark Isaacs waiting for you with his mug!

Our sandpit with Harwell XPS starts this morning. Looking forward to hearing about experimental and theoretical advances in X-ray spectroscopy and some stimulating discussions.

Interested in using X-ray absorption spectroscopy for applied research?
International Symposium #SYLINDA , organized by Synchrotron SOLARIS, is for you!

Exciting lineup of upcoming conferences funded by PsiK. Our group will be involved in the organization of the X-ray spectroscopy conference in June in Espoo (Aalto University) and the GAP/(M)ACE D&U conference in September in Berlin (@fhi_mpg_de). Looking forward to it!

☢️ We are looking for a PhD student!
