Synchrotron Mössbauer Spectroscopy (SMS) techniques are implemented at all major high energy synchrotron radiation facilities and used by a broad scientific community to probe magnetism, valence states, electronic states of a wide range of materials. The brilliance of synchrotron radiation allows probing very small samples, enabling spatially resolved measurements and measurements at extreme conditions of pressures and temperatures. A new SMS technique suitable for Fe-57 SMS in the APS-U era in any fill pattern is under development at sector 3.
The Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, is organizing a three-day in-person workshop on SMS and CONUSS software. The workshop will introduce the SMS techniques and related beamline capabilities to participants. Extensive hands-on training on spectra interpretation using the software CONUSS will be conducted by its author, Dr. Wolfgang Sturhahn. The workshop is a great opportunity for students and early career scientists to become familiar with CONUSS and discuss specific aspects of SMS data interpretation.
