Please save the date: October 2-4, 2007 A three-day workshop/short course "In situ XAFS studies of nanomaterials: from ultra-small nanocatalysts to nanowires" National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory The workshop will follow the format of previous NSLS and APS XAFS schools. Target group: "intermediate" level users, with hands on experience with Athena, Artemis, and FEFF. Focus: application of XAFS to novel nanoscale systems of interest for catalysis and materials science. Introduction to Quick XAFS - data collection, processing and analysis. Advanced methods and tricks in data analysis. Course information will soon appear on the Synchrotron Catalysis Consortium (www.yu.edu/scc) and National Synchrotron Light Source (www.nsls.bnl.gov) web sites.
