Extra Materials/Bio Physics seminar

Tuesday 6 May 2025 at 13.15, Physicum E204

Prof. Gerald Seidler (University of Washington, Seattle, WA)

“From the Early Days of Quantum Mechanics to Modern Analytical Practice: The History and Future of X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy”

Abstract: X-rays have found both fundamental and applied interest since their accidental discovery by Roentgen in 1895.  One of the longest-lived mysteries in x-ray science was the correct physical description of the fine structure that appears in the x-ray absorption spectrum of all materials.  This was first observed in 1920, but despite considerable theoretical effort a foundational description of the x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) was lacking until the 1971 effort of Sayers, Stern, and Lytle.  In that work, a scattering treatment of photoelectron physics encompassed both a predictive and an interpretive framework for XAFS.  The subsequent development and growth of XAFS capability at synchrotron x-ray light sources and the decades-spanning efforts by theorists have together made XAFS a fully mature method that is undergoing rapid diversification.  While the typical XAFS user in the year 2000 was an x-ray expert frequently working on fundamental aspects of the XAFS phenomenon itself, the typical XAFS user in present days is instead pursuing scientific discovery in the materials science or chemistry of sustainability, the fundamental and applied aspects of catalysis, the development of new biological molecules for artificial photosynthesis or therapeutic use, or the environmental science or government regulatory considerations of human-made contamination in nature. In this talk I’ll review the history of XAFS and discuss its ongoing transformation from a curiosity of the interaction of photons with matter in 1920 into a theory-informed experimental method with global impact and a growing future scope.

RECFA VISIT TO FINLAND – PUBLIC SEMINAR ON FRI 30.5.2025

European Committee for Future Accelerators in its Restricted composition (RECFA) is meeting in Finland on Fri-Sat 30-31 May 2025. RECFA reviews the status of research related to high energy facilities in CERN member countries on a regular basis – the previous visit in Finland was in 2017. The high-level committee is headed by the Director General of CERN, and it has representatives from all the CERN member countries.

 

There is a full day seminar aiming to give a comprehensive overview of the research related to high energy facilities in Finland for RECFA at the main building of the University of Helsinki on Friday 30.5.2025. The HIP community is encouraged to participate in the seminar, either full day or part of the day. The seminar is a public event so feel free to distribute the information to anyone potentially interested.

“Characterisation of the Medipix4 photon counting chip using X-rays”

Abstract: The Medipix4 ASIC is a CMOS pixel detector read-out chip working in single counting mode, which is currently in development. It is designed to be combined with different semiconductor sensors to convert X-rays into detectable electric signals. To test the chip, I performed measurements with and without a charge sharing suppression circuit enabled at different X-ray fluxes. I also did some X-ray imaging with the device.

“Methodological Developments in Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy: Computational and Experimental Perspectives”

Abstract: Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy is a powerful experimental technique for probing defects and electronic structures in materials. In this presentation, I will introduce my work in positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy during my PhD in University of Science and Technology of China, including extracting the positron-electron correlation functional from Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of a homogeneous positron-electron gas and applying it in density functional theory calculations, using machine learning to predict positron annihilation lifetimes in solids, and developing a high-count-rate positron annihilation lifetime spectrometer. These studies provide insights into defect characterization and electronic interactions in materials.
