LUXEM joins BT20220390 at CSAXS, PSI
Mr. Carmelo Grova and Prof. Giulia Fulvia Mancini join as guests Prof. J. Rouxel’s beamtime on helical dichroism at the CSAXS beamline, Paul Scherrer Institut.
Prof. Mancini is awarded the grant PiXiE – FARE from the MUR funding agency
The project PiXiE aims to combine correlative ultrafast X-ray and cryo-electron microscopy to tailor intra- and inter-structural interactions in hybrid nanoparticle superlattices.
The project will be deployed at LUXEM, University of Pavia, and it shall last 60 months.

Pantheon Installation @ LUXEM
The Ultrafast Laser system and EUV source is shipped and installed in our Lab in Pavia!
Our Research featured in the Cover Page of the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters (ACS)
We provide a comprehensive atomic-scale description of the purely thermal response of lead-halide perovskites in a temperature range relevant for realistic applications. Thermal-induced changes are rationalized in terms of displacive phase transitions, which are a consequence of the phonon anharmonicity of the inorganic lattice.
Prof. Giulia Mancini speaker – Seminars on Modern Physics
The “Incontri di Fisica Moderna” organized by the Physics Department, University of Pavia, are open Bachelor and Master students. Giulia Mancini contributes with a talk entitled: “Ultrafast lasers: new laboratory-scale synchrotrons”.
