LSU and LUXEM @ European X-ray Free Electron Laser in Hamburg
Giulia Mancini led a joint experiment at FXE (local contact Frederico Lima) of her own team and Prof. Majed Chergui’s team from EPFL in late August.
At FXE, it was possible to perform simultaneously time-resolved X-ray emission spectroscopy on a spinel Co3o4 27nm thin film, unraveling crucial structural and electronic information about relaxation cascade and clarifying the involvement of Co(II) and Co(III) centers are in the charge carrier dynamics.

Light activation of lead-halide perovskites induces polaronic lattice distortions, here quantified with atomic-level precision. Electron–phonon coupling drives the crystal changes, which are unlocked upon charge-carrier recombination and in the absence of thermal effects. This study clarifies the structure–property relationships in out-of-equilibrium conditions, underpinning the developments of perovskite-based devices. Image credit: Balázs Őrley.
Dr. Mancini receives the early tenured Associate Professorship from the Italian University Ministry
Given her scientific track-record and in recognition of the recently awarded European Research Council Starting Grant (ERC StG 2019), Dr. Giulia Fulvia Mancini was named Associate Professors in Physics by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR).
Prof. Mancini will join the Department of Physics at the University of Pavia, Italy.

Dr. Giulia Fulvia Mancini is awarded the Mildred Dresselhaus Prize 2020 for extraordinary scientists
Dr. Mancini received the prestigious international award “Mildred Dresselhaus Guest Junior Professorship Program 2020” from the Ultrafast Imaging Center (CUI) of Hamburg for “excellent scientific merits”.
Each year, this award is given to a successful Senior Scientist, and to a Junior Scientist with high potential. Based on a selective competition, CUI established the visiting professorship program, to which Mildred Dresselhaus of the MIT Physics Department gave her name. The program provides excellent research conditions to enable the researcher to work at CUI for a period of between 2 and 6 months, and to serve as a role model for young women in the natural sciences. The program also makes it possible to attract internationally renowned researchers to Hamburg and to create new opportunities for cooperation and collaboration.
