Synchrotron Radiation related physics
This line of research has been launched by ICTP in collaboration with the synchrotron radiation source in Trieste (ELETTRA Laboratory of Sincrotrone Trieste) and SISSA. The theoretical/computational research covers a variety of interesting problems which are investigated, from the experimental point of view, using synchrotron radiation. Current topics include:
-
Magnetic, charge, and orbital ordering in manganites and related strongly correlated materials
-
Physics of surfaces, interfaces, nanostructured solids, and spintronic materials
in conjunction with the interpretation of:
-
Resonant x-rays scattering, absorption and dichroism
- Photoemission, x-ray spectromicroscopy, and diffraction experiments
