The Materials Characterization Facility hosts a running image contest that resets bimonthly. The current image contests will run through June 30, 2024. In addition to displaying some of the imaging and analysis capabilities of our labs, it gives our users a chance to display their creative side. Check back here the first week of each month for updates on submission and in June we will announce our annual winners.

As part of our ongoing efforts to provide users continued support for their research, the MCF is partnering with Thermo Scientific to host a 2-day workshop on electron-based surface science methods (XPS, UPS, REELS, etc.).
The Workshop will be Wed. & Thurs. May 8th & 9th and will include lunch. We will have internal and external speakers as well as a hands-on guided session for XPS data analysis using Thermo’s Avantage software.
Please take a look at the attached flyer and sign up as soon as possible to ensure your spot. Feel free to contact MCF Staff with any questions. To register you can go here or https://rb.gy/cf8yx7
Battery research has rapidly grown in both scale and importance over the past decade. Join expert speakers who will be covering the latest research into optimizing existing energy storage solutions, developing novel technologies and deploying them in the real-world to meet our present and future energy demands.

The MCF has purchased the crystalmaker software suite for the GT community. This software suite can model and simulate diffraction data, simulate diffraction patterns, and more. OIT will be updating the software codes for download, but you can also reach out to David Tavakoli (atavakoli6 @ gatech.edu) using a GT email address.
Crystalmaker lets you simulate x-ray, neutron or TEM diffraction patterns from single crystals – and compare with observed data in the same window. SingleCrystal interfaces with CrystalMaker, so as you rotate a crystal structure in CrystalMaker, its simulated diffraction pattern and stereographic projection rotate in SingleCrystal. SingleCrystal features easy measurement and auto-indexing tools, high-resolution graphics and powerful data output. The software runs natively on Apple Silicon as well as older, Intel systems (Universal Binary).
The codes will shortly be able to be downloaded from the OIT website, but can be requested from David Tavakoli (atavakoli6 @ gatech.edu) if mailed from a Georgia Tech email address.
The MCF hosts a running image contest that resets bimonthly. The current image contests will run through November 30, 2023. In addition to displaying some of the imaging and analysis capabilities of our labs, it gives our users a chance to display their creative side. Check back here the first week of each month for updates onsubmission and twice a year – around mid-January and mid-June – to see the semiannual grand prize winners.
To submit an image, you can do so here.

The MCF is pleased to share that an online webinar on the characterization of surface properties using the DataPhysics Contact Angle Gioniometer will be on Friday, August 11 at 10:00AM EST. Registration information is listed below.
If you have questions, please contact David Tavakoli (atavakoli6 @ gatech.edu).
The Materials Characterization Facility (MCF) is pleased to announce that in January, in collaboration with Rigaku, we will be hosting a workshop on X-ray Diffraction. January 5th will feature seminars from researchers and faculty at Georgia Tech and across the southeast including but not limited to Clemson, Emory, Florida State University, and JSNN. January 6th will feature hands on training and application of techniques and showing off the capabilities of the tools and the software.
Registration information will be posted on the MCF (mcf.gatech.edu) website as well on the Rigaku website.

We look forward to seeing you at our workshop in the New Year!
Bruker will be hosting a webinar on quantitative XRF this coming Tuesday. The MCF will be playing the webinar in the lobby of Characterization Facility in Marcus.
In this webinar, Bruker will present potentials for quantification from simple to complex specimens, from infinitely thick to thin, from ideal to non-ideal samples. The possibilities to optimize the analytical output will be elaborated on using example cases. A discussion on detection limits and develop potential improvements and parameter optimization will also be had.
If you would like to register to watch it at your own concenience, you can sign up for it here.
