[Ifeffit] SCC Mailing List

Hello all:



Our group, Synchrotron Catalysis Consortium, or SCC, at the NSLS has started
a mailing list (SCC-Forum) to provide our users with an opportunity to
discuss problems that are specific to nanocatalysis science. Most of our
users come to SCC to perform in situ XAFS in catalysis  reactors, collect
time-resolved data, analyze low dimensional systems (e.g., nanoparticles,
monolayers, nanorods, and their real time reactivity, as just a few
examples) and thus may benefit from a specialized forum where these issues
are addressed in depth.



Postings by our list members would facilitate discussions of experimental
setups needed to study a specific catalysis problem, experimental regimes,
typical experimental pitfalls in these type of measurements and how to avoid
them, data modeling tricks and know-how, etc. The purpose of the list is to
help each other and the SCC group here at the NSLS by sharing your
experience and stimulate further development of catalysis science done by
XAFS and other synchrotron techniques.



For those who are not familiar with SCC, a good starting point describing
our activities is: http://www.yu.edu/scc.



To subscribe to the SCC mailing list, and start receiving and sending
postings, use   as the entry point the main SCC web page:
http://www.yu.edu/scc and click at the SCC Discussion Forum link in the
bottom right. Note that you may choose to receive daily digests of the
postings; regardless of your choice, you can access the message archives by
logging in to the list using the main entry point above. The interface is
the same as IFEFFIT; in fact, Matt kindly helped me to configure it to have
the same settings as IFEFFIT, to make it easier for those who wants to
subscribe to the both lists.



Perhaps, such “specialized” lists could be set up in the future by other
groups using XAFS, say, life sciences and environmental sciences, who will
continue using IFEFFIT  as a fantastic resource for general XAFS analysis
advice but have their own list themes, as does SCC-Forum. Regardless of
whether it may or may not be a good idea in general, I hope the SCC-Forum
list will be a useful resource for you. Any comments, please let me know.
