Accelerating Materials Innovation: Recent Advances in Spectroscopic and Microscopic Instrumentation.
Join us on this talk covering recent developments in surface science instrumentation. Hrag Karakachian and Gediminas G will provide an overview of cutting-edge advancements in six key methodologies:
1. Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES)
2. High-Resolution Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (HREELS)
3. Hard X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy (HAXPES)
4. Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (AP-XPS)
5. Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM)
6. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE)
Each technique’s recent breakthroughs will be discussed, highlighting their unique contributions to unravelling surface and interface phenomena, as well as their applications in catalysis, energy materials, and emerging quantum systems. Emphasis will be placed on the synergies between these methods and their role in accelerating materials innovation.
