Welcome to LINXS webinar series - Let’s dive into the atoms! introducing x-ray and neutron science from a methods perspective. The aim is to create a fundamental understanding of how you as a researcher can use x-rays and neutrons in your own research.

When: Wednesday, 5rd June 2020, 14.00-15.00

Speaker: Pieter Glatzel- HERFD-XAS and RIXS (ESRF)
Title: How to exploit chemical sensitivity in X-ray spectroscopy

Abstract: Matter absorbs and scatters X-rays. Spectral analysis of the X-rays reveals a wealth of information about the electronic structure of the X-ray absorbing element (the analyte). I will explain the mechanisms that lead to the chemical sensitivity and show how they influence the spectral shape. In particular, I will explain photon-in/photon-out spectroscopy (RIXS, XES, HERFD) and show how it adds a dimension to conventional X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

Bio: Pieter is a scientist at the ESRF where he is leading the electronic structure, magnetism and dynamics group. He is also in charge of beamline ID26 that is dedicated to photon-in/photon-out spectroscopy. He studied physics in Mainz, Glasgow and Hamburg and worked with Steve Cramer and Uwe Bergmann at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to develop X-ray emission spectroscopy. After a post-doctoral stay in Frank de Groot's group in Utrecht he joined the ESRF in 2004. His scientific interest focuses around developing X-ray spectroscopic techniques for the study electronic structure and local coordination. Pieter was chair of the international X-ray absorption society (2015-2018).
