2012 SSRL Workshop on XAS and RIXS Data Analysis Using CTM4XAS and CTM4RIXS
Instructor:Professor Frank de Groot from Utrecht University, The Netherlands.
Thursday June 28, 2012
A two-day workshop on the fundamental aspects of x-ray spectroscopy, including lectures and tutorials on the use of CTM4XAS and CTM4RIXS will be held on June 28-29th, 2012. The first day will focus on lectures and demonstrations by Prof. de Groot. The second day will be dedicated to advanced data analysis session on participant-driven topics. Participants should indicate in the registration form if they are interested in availing of this option and if they would like to bring specific data sets for discussion on the 29th.
CTM4XAS is a charge transfer multiplet program developed by Eli Stavitski and Frank de Groot, based on the original charge transfer multiplet code developed by Theo Thole. It has been successfully applied for the calculation of x-ray spectra of d and f systems. This includes the calculation of XAS, XMCD, XPS and XES spectra. CTM4RIXS is a related tool to calculate and visualize resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectra of transition metal systems. 2p3d, 3p3d, 1s2p and 1s3p RIXS spectra can be calculated. More information will be available soon on the SSRL events website.
If you would like to get more information on CTM4XAS and CTM4RIXS or download the software, see the CTM4XAS website: http://www.anorg.chem.uu.nl/CTM4XAS/
Participants invited for the hands-on workshop are asked to bring individual laptops and to download and equip their computers with the programs for use at the hands-on training session.
