2025 APS/SEES School on CONUSS/PHOENIX
Argonne National Laboratory May 12-14, 2025 Nuclear resonant scattering (NRS) methods, including Synchrotron Mössbauer Spectroscopy (SMS) and Nuclear Resonance Inelastic Spectroscopy (NRISX) are practiced at three beamlines at the APS: Sector 3, 16 and 30. Users are offered 5 different isotopes to work with: 57Fe, 83Kr, 119Sn, 151Eu and 161Dy. The APS-U brought significant enhancement […]
Webinar: Nuclear Resonant Spectroscopy at the APS
Nuclear Resonant Spectroscopy (NRS) takes advantage of low-energy nuclear resonances found in specific isotopes, such as Fe-57, to probe the local chemical environment and atomic vibrational dynamics within materials that contain these isotopes. This presentation will highlight NRS capabilities at the Advanced Photon Source and detail quantities that can be measured using this method that […]
