Recent rapid development and implementation of 4th generation synchrotron sources and free electron lasers opens further opportunities to study materials with high intensity, coherent X-ray beams. Development of new techniques, together with improvement of more established approaches, allows unprecedented insight and holistic understanding of the structure, chemical environment, electronic structure across a broad range of length scales from the atomic scale to macroscopic scales, over time scales from femtoseconds to minutes, hours and days in a variety of conditions from ultra-high vacuum to ambient pressure to high pressures. In this mini symposium we will highlight some resent science advances in characterizing energy conversion and storage materials, and quantum materials.
Areas of Interest: LS is seeking abstracts in the cutting-edge science enabled at synchrotron and free electron laser light sources specifically in the area of quantum materials and energy storage and conversion materials.
