DESCRIPTION:\nWelcome to the LINXS Guest Seminar and WEBINAR: CoWork serie
 s  with Adam Hitchcock\n\nWhen: March 30\, 15:30 - 16.30\nWhere: at LIN
 XS (Scheelvägen 19\, Lund)\, with digital connection possibility (Zoom)\n
 Registration deadline: March 24\,  at 12:00\n\n \n\nAbstract:\n\nSoft X
 -ray scanning transmission microscopy (STXM) is a powerful tool for nanosc
 ale materials analysis\, with significant advantages over analytical elect
 ron microscopies for studies of radiation sensitive materials\, and for in
  situ and operando studies. Ptychography (scanning coherent diffraction im
 aging) can be measured using soft X-ray STXMs equipped with a suitable\, p
 ost specimen X-ray camera. Ptychography provides significant improvements 
 in spatial resolution (~10 nm\, as opposed to 20-30 nm for conventional ST
 XM) as well as additional information from phase imaging. This seminar wil
 l describe recent advances in soft X-ray spectro-ptychography include exte
 nsion to low X-ray energies (<200 eV)\, and in situ flow electrochemical s
 tudies of Cu catalysts for CO2 reduction.\n\nBio:\n\nAdam Hitchcock was bo
 rn and educated in Canada (B.Sc.\, Chemistry\, McMaster\, 1974\; Ph.D.\, C
 hemical Physics\, UBC\, 1978). His research focus is inner shell excitatio
 n spectroscopies and spectromicroscopies. A professor at McMaster since 19
 79\, his group has studied inner shell electron energy loss (EELS) spectro
 scopy of gases and surfaces\, using home built instruments. In 1980 he sta
 rted synchrotron experiments\, initially hard X-ray spectroscopy of materi
 als at Cornell (USA)\, then soft X-ray spectroscopy of gases at LURE (Fran
 ce) and SRC (USA). In 1994 he began developing soft X-ray transmission mic
 roscopes (STXM) and photoemission microscopes (PEEM) at ALS (USA). He help
 ed establish the Canadian Light Source (CLS\, Saskatoon) and the CLS spect
 romicroscopy beamline\, currently equipped with 2 STXMs and a PEEM. In 200
 6\, he was awarded fellowship of the Royal Society of Canada (FRSC\, Canad
 a’s highest scientific honor)\, for his contributions to development of 
 X-ray microscopy and the CLS. His current research is focused on technique
  developments of STXM and ptychography\, and their application to studies 
 of energy materials such as catalysts for CO2 reduction with in situ contr
 ol of electrolyte and potential. \n\nProgramme Agenda\n\nThe detailed agen
