XPS Workshop – May 8th and 9th 2024!
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
Webinar on Advanced Battery Research
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.
Registration for the webinar can be found Advances in Battery Research 2024 Symposium | Technology Networks

Crystalmaker Software Suite for 2024!
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.
MCF Image Contest
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.
