VIDEO - Catalysis Working group Webinar - "Research in Catalysis at MAX IV", with Andrey Shavorskiy

Heterogeneous Catalysis is one of the key fields of physical sciences that is attracting attention of both fundamental and applied research. Use of X-rays is particularly important in the studies of catalytic phenomena due to non-destructive nature of analysis, high sensitivity to various physical…

VIDEO - Webinar series: Let's Dive into the Atoms! - Beyond the E0 state of nitrogenase: Spectroscopic studies of Intermediates in biological dinitrogen reduction, with Serena DeBeer

The conversion of dinitrogen to ammonia is a challenging, energy intensive process, which is enabled biologically by the nitrogenase family of enzymes. The Mo-dependent nitrogenases contain two cofactors, the 8Fe-8S P-cluster and the Mo-7Fe-9S-C iron-molybdenum cofactor, known as “FeMoco”, which is…

VIDEO - Webinar series: Let's Dive into the Atoms! - How to exploit chemical sensitivity in X-ray spectroscopy, with Pieter Glatzel

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). Pieter Glatzel explains the mechanisms that lead to the chemical sensitivity and show how they influence the spectral…
