[vip-all] AMO seminar, today 15:15
by Aurélien Dantan 22 Sep '11

Title: X-ray laser spectroscopy with an electron beam ion trap at the free electron laser LCLS Speaker: Prof. José Crespo López-Urrutia, Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Heidelberg Time: Thursday, September 22, 15.15 to 16.00 Place: Fysisk Auditorium Abstract: Highly charged ions (HCI) are a main component of many astrophysical plasmas: stars and their coronae, active galactic nuclei, or accretion disks surrounding black holes. Until now, resonant photon scattering of x rays interacting with HCI could not be investigated in the laboratory. The new X-ray free electron laser LCLS opens the door for a complete new way of studying photoionized plasmas under well controlled conditions, as laser spectroscopy did in the visible range. For the first time, HCI targets produced and trapped with an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) are brought to interact with an x-ray laser to excite their electrons. By observing photon absorption and reemission, direct access is gained to both x-ray transition energies and oscillator strengths without theoretical and experimental uncertainties occurring under thermal excitation. The EBIT experiment at LCLS has measured the line ratios of Fe16+ and Fe15+, basic for plasma diagnostics, and compared them to lines in F8+, an hydrogenic ion, the only HCI type which can be calculated with extreme accuracy.

[vip-all] Rekvisitioner: fragt og forsikring
by Ruth Laursen 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Kære alle Fremover vil vi bede jer skrive en rekvisition og aflevere til Birthe, når I bestiller en fragtmand eller DHL (eller andre) til at afhente forsendelser. Ligeledes vil vi gerne have en rekvisition når I bestiller en forsikring på bilen, når den skal til udlandet. Det er efterhånden en jungle for os at spore hvem der skal betale, og Birthe bruger meget lang tid på det i workflow og i kommunikation med ØCS, som jo ikke mere sidder i huset. Det er et rent detektivarbejde. Ved ØCS kender de ikke personerne på de enkelte institutter, og medarbejderen er ikke altid den samme, så vi er nødt til at få det struktureret, så arbejdsgangen glider nemt og hurtigt. ALTSÅ: rekvisition MED kontonummer ved forsendelser samt bilforsikringer er et MUST fremover. Jeg beklager, men det er nye tider for os alle. vh ruth ******************************* Ruth Laursen Head of Department Secretariat Department of Physics and Astronomy Aarhus University Ny Munkegade 120 8000 Aarhus C Denmark e-mail: ruth(a)phys.au.dk Office: 1522-212 Mobile: 2338 2335

[vip-all] General Physics Colloquium today at 3 p.m.

GENERAL PHYSICS COLLOQUIUM _____ Title: Competition of magnetism and superconductivity at the nanoscale Speaker: Katharina Franke, Freie Universität Berlin Time: Wednesday, 14 September, 2011 at 3:15 p.m. Place: Physics Auditorium, 3rd floor, Department of Physics Abstract Magnetism and superconductivity are often thought to be incompatible with each other. Superconductors expel weak applied magnetic fields, and they lose their ability to carry electric current without resistance in strong magnetic fields. Using scanning tunnelling microscopy we detect the co-existence of magnetism and superconductivity and their competition at the level of single atoms. We have deposited magnetic molecules on top of a superconducting lead substrate. The magnetic moment of the adsorbate then interacts with the Cooper pairs and tends to break them apart. On the other hand, the normal electrons also present in the substrate can screen the localized spin via the Kondo effect. The delicate balance between these phenomena determines the resulting ground state of the system, i.e. whether a small magnetic moment is locally retained or compensated and whether the superconducting state still persists. The interaction strengths of Kondo screening and pair breaking largely depends on the adsorption configuration. Magnetic molecules arranged in a Moire lattice on the surface thus give rise to a magnetic pattern in which the different ground states co-exist. _____ Coffee/tea and cake will be served at 3 p.m. David Field
