  2. Brookhaven Lecture

    4 pm, Berkner Hall Auditorium

    Hosted by: Thomas Watson

    During the 501st Brookhaven Lecture, Ignace Jarrige will discuss different ways electrons behave and affect unique materials' properties. He will then explain how the new Soft Inelastic X-ray Scattering (SIX) beamline—an extra-long beamline he is developing at NSLS-II—will measure how x-rays excite atomic bonds in new materials researchers are inventing around the world. Jarrige and his collaborators will use this new tool to unravel mysteries of electrons' collective behavior with unprecedented accuracy as they witness emerging phenomena such as superconductivity—the ability to conduct electricity with zero resistance—magnetism, and other phenomena that could lead to faster trains, more powerful computer processors, and far more efficient electrical grids.

  1. Center for Functional Nanomaterials Seminar

    11 am, Bldg 735, Conference Room B, 1st Floor

    Hosted by: Chang-Yong Nam

    Nanocrystals measure around one billionth of an inch and they can be metals, semiconductors, or insulators. They are the smallest objects we can synthesize on the nanoscale and are used as enabling materials for diverse applications with unmatched tunability and versatility. My talk focuses on how we can utilize these nanomaterials for direct conversion into electricity of two of the most important ubiquitous sources of free energy: sunlight and waste heat. Unlike fossil fuel plants, direct energy conversion devices have no moving parts. They are silent, and require no maintenance, since "electrons and holes do all the work". This presentation details how in solar cells, we can "maximize the number of electrons and holes that do the work" and in thermoelectrics, engineer the material so that the "electrons or holes do the work better." Short biography of Dong-Kyun Ko: Dong-Kyun Ko is currently an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NJIT. He received his BS in Materials Science and Engineering from Yonsei University (Korea, 2005). He received his MS (2007) and PhD (2011) degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, advised by Dr. Christopher Murray. After his PhD, he held a joint appointment with Dr. Vladimir Bulovic's and Dr. Moungi Bawendi's labs at MIT as a Postdoctoral Associate. Dong-Kyun's research focuses on energy materials and devices utilizing colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots). Specifically, he is interested in developing more efficient solar and thermal energy harvesting devices by manipulating matter at the nanoscale. His research involves multidisciplinary approaches that span from physics, chemistry, and materials science to electrical engineering.

    In the coming years, the LHC will be upgraded to provide much higher luminosity. This implies increased radiation damage, occupany and pile-up for the ATLAS experiment and requires the replacement of the current Inner Detector with an improved all-silicon tracker.

    "Camera with 10 nsec resolution for imaging of X-rays and low energy ions"

    Presented by Andrei Nomerotski, Physics, BNL

    2:30 pm, Large Conference Room, Bldg. 535

    Wednesday, February 11, 2015, 2:30 pm

    Resolving the time evolution of fast processes, measuring the time-of-flight of particles, and looking at time correlations in spatially resolved events are the main drivers for the development of imagers with the best possible time resolution. In the talk I will briefly review the fast imaging in general and then will discuss applications of a fast camera with 10 ns resolution to time resolved X-ray imaging and to imaging mass spectrometry. The camera, which is based on a silicon sensor and Timepix readout chip, successfully recorded the first data at several mass spectrometers and at NSLS-I.
