XFELs: cutting edge X-ray light for chemical and material sciences PCCP themed issue now online and free to access

25 Feb 2020

We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) themed issue XFELs: cutting edge X-ray light for chemical and material sciences is now online and free to access until the end of May 2020.

XFELs (X-ray free electron lasers) provide a coherent, monochromatic and ultra-short pulse X-ray light. This enables experiments into the ultrafast dynamics of electron excitation and chemical reactions, and coherent imaging of materials.

Guest Edited by Professor Kiyotaka Asakura, Professor Kelly Gaffney,Dr Chris Milne and Dr Makina Yabashi, this collection reviews the very recent achievements of XFELs in chemical and material sciences.

Official themed issue of the Bunsentagung 2019 meeting now online and free to access!

28 May 2019

The Deutsche Bunsen-Gesellschaft and Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) are delighted to announce that the official themed issue of the Bunsentagung 2019 meeting is now online.

Functional materials form the core of many modern technologies, e.g. in energy conversion and storage, heterogeneous catalysis, drug delivery, implants, biosensors and optical devices. The challenges in the design and characterization of modern materials are diverse and interdisciplinary. They require joint research across scientific boundaries. The most challenging tasks range from the synthesis of materials, the developments of novel experimental characterization tools and theoretical methods for atomistic description of material properties, in silico material screening for tailoring the interaction of materials with their environment and device engineering. Physical chemistry is a key scientific discipline for successful achievement of these tasks.

The issue is guest-edited by Benjamin Dietzek (Jena University), Leticia Gonzalez (University of Vienna), Christina Roth Free (University of Berlin), Sebastian Schlücker (University of Duisburg-Essen), Andrey Turchanin (Jena University), Dr Maria Wächtler (Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology, Jena).

Read the official full collection online free until 31 August 2019.
