Anna and Richard spent a week at the HZDR and used the LEEM there for angle-resolved REELS - or inelastic LEED or ARSEES or ... ... The world of electrons is full of acronyms, but the angular distribution of slow secondary electrons is extremely exciting!

The HITRAP experiment at GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt has been under construction for 20 years. There, highly charged ions are first generated with an energy of 79GeV and then decelerated to 1MeV. And we - together with colleagues from the University of Duisburg-Essen - were the first users of this worldwide unique facility!

A very exciting and productive kick-off meeting for our new FFG project on the use of ion beams in research on novel catalysts. Together with Prof. Noelia Barrabes and Prof. Aleix Comas from the Faculty of Technical Chemistry and a strong team of young talents, we will investigate the effect of ion beam shaping for 12 months to improve the catalysis of chemical reactions.

Despite the high water level, the first retreat of the TU-DX Doctoral College did not fall into the water! Four days in Waidhofen an der Ybbs awaited Vicki and her colleagues with a varied program: inspiring lectures on 2D materials, workshops in which they worked on Python and presentation skills, and a trip to the wildlife park to get to know the Waidhofen wallabies - and of course the perfect opportunity to get to know each other better and exchange ideas about the respective research projects.
