G-rich DNA sequences are able to fold into structures called G-quadruplexes (G4). ![]() Episodic records of jellyfish ingestion of plastic items reveal a novel pathway for trophic transference of marine litterInvertebrates represent the most plentiful component of marine biodiversity. Read More![]() SR-based Raman and neutron radiography techniques for the investigation of nanostructured coatings on stone surfaceNano-sized TiO2 is widely used as photocatalysts for many applications in cultural heritage conservation. In this research, we focused our attention on nanostructured product composed by silica, polydimethylsiloxane and TiO2 nanoparticles.

Read More![]() Effect of Ti Speciation on Catalytic Performance of TS-1 in the Hydrogen Peroxide to Propylene Oxide ReactionCatalytic activity in epoxidation of propylene over TS-1 has been studied as a function of the Ti speciation in some representative samples. Upon spectroscopy-based qualification and quantification of the various Ti species, catalytic activity can be ascribed to the only perfect tetrahedral Ti.

The peculiarity of IUVS is the specific kinematic region that can be investigated. IUVS beamline delivers photons with incident energy between 5 and 11 eV. The incident photons that are inelastically diffused by the sample can be analysed by exploiting the two different and complementary experimental set-up available on the beamline, i.e. UV Brillouin and UV Resonant Raman scattering instruments, in order to probe both the acoustic and optical phonons propagating in the system. This allows to acquire information about the structure and dynamics of the constituent matter over different length scales through the analysis of its collective and molecular vibrations. |
The more recently realized experimental setup that enables to perform UV Resonant Raman spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation in the range of wavelengths 200-270 nm provides a fine tunable source in the deep-UV for mapping a wide resonance landscape range in different samples, from nanostructures and strongly correlated materials to biophysical and biochemical systems.
Proposal SubmissionWe invite users and collabrators to discuss thier proposals with the beamline local contacts well in advance before the submission deadline. This is crucial for a careful assesment of the experiment feasibility and may lead to improvements in the proposed experimental plan. In a restricted number of cases, when doubts arise about the suitability of your samples (sample absorption etc), it may be possible for you to arrange a test. Our website provides a wealth of informaiton on experiment feasibilty and proposal submission. For more info, please vist the IUVS Users section. |
Call for proposalsThe deadline for proposal submission for beamtime allocation from January 1st to June 30th, 2020 will be September 16th, 2019. |
