2002 NSLS Users' Meeting

Combining Synchrotron Infrared and X-ray Micro-Spectroscopy and Imaging

Chemistry Department, Bldg. 555, Hamilton Room

Wednesday, May 22, 2002

Organizers: Lisa Miller, NSLS, BNL 631-344-2091 and Antonio Lanzirotti, University of Chicago, 631-344-5626

The objective of the workshop is to introduce and describe the many microspectroscopy and imaging techniques that are available at the NSLS, including infrared (IR) micro-spectroscopy, hard x-ray microprobe, soft x-ray scanning transmission x-ray microscopy (STXM), x-ray micro-diffraction, diffraction-enhanced imaging (DEI), and x-ray micro-tomography. During the morning session, 6 speakers will describe the "in's and out's" of each technique. The afternoon session will focus on various applications of the different techniques, emphasizing the complementary information that can be obtained by using multiple techniques to solve scientific problems in many fields of interest. A "Guidebook of Microspectroscopy and Imaging Techniques at the NSLS" will be distributed to every participant.
