21 Jun '18

Dear all, As a follow-up for the residential meeting at Vejle, before which I only had response from 2 groups, I kindly ask you to - groupwise, if possible - inform me in writing about your planned activities in connection with talent students: "Please also take responsibility for organizing suggestions for host groups for “Talent students” (i.e. students being admitted to the talent program from their second year); such groups may consist of the entire topical group or one or more subgroups." Please include in your (preferably brief) response which (sub-)groups you suggest, 5-10 keywords about the scientific content, and a bit about which competencies you expect the talent students may obtain from your programme (both the 'soft' such as presentation skills, and the 'hard' such as programming in LabVIEW), and a suggestion for the final evaluation, to be done at the end of the 1/2 year (which product?).

[vip-all] Valg til AU - AU Elections
by Ruth Laursen 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

English: See below Valg 2014 er skudt i gang! Valget 2014 er nu skudt i gang med offentliggørelse af valgcirkulære og tidsplan, som du finder på www.au.dk/valg<http://www.au.dk/valg>. Valgsekretariatet vil i den forbindelse gerne gøre opmærksom på, at det snart er tid til at opstille kandidater til bestyrelsen, akademisk råd, studienævn og ph.d. udvalg. Det er vigtigt at opstille nok kandidater og suppleanter, så alle mandater i organerne udfyldes. Manglende studenterrepræsentation i råd og nævn Ved tidligere valg har en række akademiske råd og studienævn, været uden studenterrepræsentanter, fordi ingen har stillet op. Den manglende studenterrepræsentation kan skyldes flere ting, men det er Valgsekretariatets erfaring, at en af årsagerne er, at de studerende afleverer opstillingslister så sent, at eventuelle fejl ikke kan nå at blive rettet, hvorved listen ofte må erklæres ugyldig. Alle vælgere får tilsendt en mail med oplysninger om valget, herunder om opstilling af kandidater, men Valgsekretariatet vil derudover opfordre studieledere og studievejledere til at gøre de studerende opmærksomme på valget og på muligheden for at aflevere opstillingslister i god tid, så der i den kommende valgperiode vil være så få råd og nævn som muligt uden studenterrepræsentation. Opstilling Opstillingsskemaer findes på www.au.dk/valg<http://www.au.dk/valg>. Der er en udførlig vejledning til udfyldning af opstillingslisten i forbindelse med skemaet, ligesom der altid er mulighed for at søge vejledning i valgreglerne, som også findes på hjemmesiden. Endeligt kan Valgsekretariatet spørges til råds inden opstillingsfristens udløb. Valgsekretariatet kan kontaktes på 8715 3325 eller valg(a)au.dk<mailto:valg@au.dk>. Opstillingsperioden 2014 løber fra den 27. oktober kl. 9.00 til den 7. november kl. 12.00. Opstillingslister modtaget efter dette tidspunkt accepteres ikke. Valgsekretariatet opfordrer derfor til, at man afleverer sin opstillingsliste så tidligt i opstillingsperioden som muligt, da Valgsekretariatet så har mulighed for at gennemgå den, så eventuelle fejl kan blive rettet. Hvis der opdages fejl i listen efter fristens udløb er det ikke muligt at rette disse, og listen risikerer derfor at blive erklæret ugyldig. Listen bør derfor tjekkes grundigt inden aflevering, f.eks. om organets navn, repræsentationsområde og cpr-nummer er korrekt angivet. Studerende kan i 2014 stille op og stemme til: studienævn, akademisk råd, ph.d.-udvalg og AU's bestyrelse Videnskabelige medarbejdere kan stille op og stemme til: studienævn og ph.d.-udvalg The 2014 elections have begun! The 2014 elections have officially begun, and the election circular and schedule have been posted at www.au.dk/valg. The Election Secretariat would like to remind you that it will soon be time to nominate candidates for election to the Aarhus University Board, the academic councils, the boards of studies and the PhD committees. It is important that enough candidates and substitutes are nominated to fill all seats on all collegial bodies. Insufficient student representation on councils and committees In previous elections, a number of academic councils and boards of studies have been without student representatives because no one stood for election. There are many possible reasons for this lack of representation, but in the experience of the Election Secretariat, one contributing factor is the fact that students submit their lists of candidates too late for any errors in them to be corrected, which means that it has often been necessary to declare the lists invalid. All eligible voters will receive a mail with information about the election, including guidelines for nominating candidates. In addition, the Election Secretariat will encourage directors of study and student counsellors to draw students' attention to the election and to the option of submitting lists of candidates well in advance of the deadline, in order to avoid the lack of student representatives on as many councils and boards as possible this year. Nomination Nomination forms are available at www.au.dk/valg. There is a detailed guide to filling out the nomination forms. A guide to nominating candidates can also be found in the election rules, which are also available on the website. The Election Secretariat can also provide guidance up until the deadline for nominations. Contact the Election Secretariat at 8715 3325 or valg(a)au.dk<mailto:valg@au.dk> The 2014 nomination period runs from 27 October at 9:00 until noon on 7 November. Nomination lists received after this deadline will not be accepted. Therefore, the Election Secretariat encourages everyone to submit nominations lists as early in the nomination period as possible so that the lists can be checked and any errors can be corrected. If errors are discovered after the deadline has passed, it will not be possible to correct them. This means that there is a risk that lists containing errors will be declared invalid. Therefore, all lists should be checked thoroughly before submission. Details such as the names of collegial organs and the representation area and CPR numbers must be correctly indicated ******************************* Ruth Laursen Head of Department Administration 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: + 45 2338 2335 Telephone: +45 8715 5652

[vip-all] Brugerundersøgelse af forskernes ønsker til biblioteksservices
by Ruth Laursen 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

[For English text see below] AU Library ønsker at styrke indsatsen over for forskere ansat ved Aarhus Universitet og at sikre, at der er overensstemmelse mellem de services, vi tilbyder og forskernes faktiske behov. Som et led i udviklingen af AU Library’s forskersupport ønsker vi derfor at iværksætte en undersøgelse blandt AU’s forskere, og vi har allerede orienteret Dekanerne om dette. Undersøgelsens overordnede formål er at afdække de forskellige behov, ønsker og forventninger, som AU’s forskere har til AU Library. Med resultaterne kan vi kvalificeret prioritere og tilbyde målrettede services på de forskellige fakulteter ud fra de givne midler og ressourcer AU Library har til rådighed. Undersøgelsen består dels af en spørgeskemaundersøgelse om forskeres brug og prioritering af eksisterende services dels en række fokusgruppe-interviews, hvor vi vil spørge ind til ønsker til fremtidige services. Som det første skridt i undersøgelsen vil vi bede dig om inden den 31. oktober at distribuere linket til spørgeskemaundersøgelsen til det videnskabelige personale på dit institut. https://www.survey-xact.dk/LinkCollector?key=R2DPLTHX9696 Du bestemmer selv om du vil sende linket til hele det videnskabelige personale eller til et hensigtsmæssigt udsnit heraf. Det tager ca. 10-15 minutter at udfylde spørgeskemaet. Tak for din hjælp! ------------------------------ AU Library wishes to improve its services to researchers at Aarhus University and make sure that the services we offer actually match researchers’ needs. To help us improve AU Library’s research support, we would like to perform a survey among AU’s researchers. The deans have already been informed of this survey. The main objective of the survey is to identify the various needs, wishes and expectations AU researchers have in relation to AU Library. The results of the survey will help us prioritise and target our services on the basis of the means available. The survey consists of a questionnaire about researchers’ use of and prioritisation of existing services as well as a series of focus group interviews at which we will discuss new ideas for research support. As the first step in the survey, we would like to ask you to distribute the link to the questionnaire to the academic staff at your department before 31st October. https://www.survey-xact.dk/LinkCollector?key=R2DPLTHX9696 You decide whether you send the link to all academic staff members or to relevant subgroups. It takes 10-15 minutes to complete the questionnaire. Thank you for your help!

[vip-all] AMO seminar today at 15 in 1525-323 - Klavs Hansen

23 Oct '14

AMO seminar Thursday 23rd October 15:15-16:00 1525-323 Title: Photophysics of small carbon cluster anions Speaker: Klavs Hansen, University of Gothenburg / IFA Abstract: Small carbon clusters and carbon-based molecules have gained increasing importance in the attempts to understand the molecular zoo in interstellar space and the dynamics of the molecular clouds located close to nascent stars. One of the questions that needs to be answered is how energy is dissipated after a photon has been absorbed by a molecule. A number of potential decay channels are available, such as direct ionization, fluorescence, delayed ionization, and infrared radiation from vibrational transitions. These questions have been studied with visible and near-infrared photoexcitation and decay of anionic carbon clusters C−N, N= 4−7 and C6H−at the Tokyo Metropolitan University electrostatic storage ring. The experiments allowed a determination of the dominant channels and their timescales, which were found to differ by orders of magnitude from one anion to the next. Thermally excited electronic states play a crucial role for these differences, even for ions as small as C−4. The hows and whys of this novel cooling mechanism will be presented. Coffee, tea and cake will be served at 15:05

General Physics Colloquium Wed 22nd October 15:15-16:00 Fys. Aud. Ultrafast Dynamics of Photoinduced Surface Reactions and Phase Transitions in Solids Martin Wolf Fritz-Haber-Instiut der Max-Planck Gesellschaft Electronic excitations at surfaces and in solids can lead to rich variety of processes, which often include transfer of energy of the electronic system into nuclear motion. Femtosecond laser excitation of metals or more complex materials results in a highly non-equilibrium electron distribution, which may induce chemical reactions of adsorbed molecules (surface femtochemistry) or lead to displacive excitation of coherent phonons or ultrafast phase transitions in solids. Both types of processes occur on ultrafast (femto- to picosecond) timescales and are accompanied by pronounced changes of the electronic structure. In this talk, I will discuss different experimental approaches to probe such transient electronic structure changes on ultrafast timescales by employing (i) time-resolved resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (trRIXS) and (ii) time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (trARPES). Experiments performed with trRIXS at the X-ray free electron laser LCLS provide direct insight into the changes of the chemical bonds after photoexcitation (like CO or O on Ru(001)), leading to a pronounced bond weakening and CO desorption or oxidation. These studies provide new insights into dynamics and details of the potential energy landscape. Furthermore, we have investigated the mechanism of the photoinduced insulator-to-metal transition in a prototypical charge-density wave (CDW) system (RTe3, R=Te, Dy). In CDW materials a periodic lattice distortion leads to the opening of an electronic gap at the Fermi surface at low temperatures. trARPES allows for probing directly the transient evolution of the electronic structure and collective phonon dynamics after photoexcitation through their influence on the electronic band structure. This enables a systematic study of the opening and closing of the CDW gap and the dynamics of the CDW amplitude mode during the photo-induced non-equilibrium phase transition. Wine and cheese will be served at 4 PM
