We believe in our duty to share knowledge through weekly seminars, regularly workshops and other events. on this page you'll find events organized in the past. If you're interested in upcoming events visit the Events page. Our weekly seminars at DIFFER cover a wide range of topics and are open to everybody. Please, read more on our dedicated Seminars page. You can find specific information for external visitors and subscribe to our seminar mailinglist on this page.

Atomistic modelling of electrochemical interfaces

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Electrolytes respond to contact with a charged solid surface (metal electrode, semiconductor or insulating ionic solids) by formation of an electric double layer. The modelling of electric double layers at an atomistic level remains a major challenge.

Plasma-facing components for the NSTX-U Recovery Project and Applications of Liquid Technologies to Conventional Energy Sources

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
NOTE: different day and time: Tuesday 10h00  The National Spherical Torus Experiment – Upgrade (NSTX-U), will be one of the highest power-density magnetic fusion experiments when operating at full parameters.  Following a failure in a poloidal field coil, the NSTX-U entered the Recovery Project which is redesigning several key components in order to increase operation

Recent developments and applications of infrared ion spectroscopy at FELIX

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
The combination of a widely tunable infrared laser source with tandem mass spectrometry enables the routine recording of IR spectra of gaseous molecular ions. With the aid of theoretically predicted vibrational spectra, these IR spectra can be used to derive molecular structure information on the ionized species.

Potential energy surfaces for molecular modelling, and a perspective on simulations of plasma-material interaction

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Potential energy surfaces represent the total energy of a system of nuclei and electrons as a function of the nuclear configuration. These surfaces (and property surfaces, such as the dipole moment) are key tools for quasiclassical trajectory calculations, molecular spectroscopy, quantum scattering and other applications in molecular science.

Material issues in next generation batteries

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Li-ion transport and local structural changes are vital in current and future batteries, however hard to monitor on a microscopic level under operando conditions. Here I will present our recent progress in the use of operando Neutron Depth Profiling, operando m-beam diffraction and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance investigating Li-ion and solid state batteries.
