The lectures serve as an introductory step for new users\, provid ing a solid foundation in the techniques utilizing soft X-rays\, while dat a analysis classes and beamline exercises offer valuable opportunities to engage with experienced scientists and discuss user projects. MAX IV staff members are excellent resources for guidance on data collection and inter pretation. This Summer School focuses on techniques using soft X-rays\, e. g.  X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)\, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES)\, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS)\, resonant ine lastic X-ray scattering (RIXS).\n\n\nThe Summer School is primarily design ed for\, but not limited to\, PhD students and early-career researchers. T his program introduces key concepts essential for understanding and applyi ng various scientific and technological techniques. It also helps particip ants recognize and avoid common misinterpretations found in the literature \, equipping them with the knowledge to navigate complex research topics w ith confidence.\n\n\nThe Summer School will take place at LINXS and MAX IV during start-up week (week 34 \, 18-22 August).\n\nMethods to be used\n\n The LINXS/MAX IV summer school makes accents on spectroscopy techniques re presented at MAX IV Laboratory.  \n•    X-ray photoelectron spectros copy (XPS) is the most widely used surface analysis technique because it c an be applied to a wide range of materials and provides valuable quantitat ive and chemical state information from the surface of the material being studied. \n•    Many-body quantum physics is at the heart of modern condensed matter. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studie s the electronic structure directly in momentum space. This technique prov ides direct insights into the energy and momentum dependent electronic ban d structure of such materials. Often this is vital information in itself\, but with careful measurements a variety of other insights can be gained\, including the nature of phase or structure transitions\, many-body intera ctions\, or modifications by dopants or interstitial sites.\n•    X-r ay absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a widely used method to study atomic l ocal structures and electronic states. XAS has proven to be a valuable spe ctroscopic tool to study the changes in local structure because it does no t require long-range ordering and is applicable to almost all types of sam ples regardless of their actual physical state (solid\, liquid\, gas). XAS is another technique that can be applied to in situ/operando studies.\n •    Access to a primary photon source with high brightness is crucia l for resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). With a high degree of co ntrol over the process of energy\, momentum\, and angular momentum transfe r\, the new synchrotrons offer the ability to observe it. It has been show n\, for instance\, that fundamental excitations in correlated materials ca n be thoroughly studied and that it is possible to resolve individual vibr ational excitations in molecular systems. From physics and chemistry to bi ology\, RIXS offers new possibilities for research in these fields. Resear ch on correlated systems\, energy materials\, and materials science will p articularly profit from this\, and it is highly feasible to study corrosio n and catalysis in operando with high precision.\n\n\nAll courses are taug ht in English.\n\nPlease note that we have a no-show fee of 200 SEK (for p hysical participation) if you do not inform us beforehand at josefin.marte ll@linxs.lu.se \n\nIf you don’t receive a registration confirmation ple ase check your spam mail.\n\nDuring our events we sometimes take photograp hs and short film clips to profile our activities. Please let us know if y ou don’t want to be in any photos/films before we start the event. Some talks might be recorded to be used for educational purposes in the LINXS website.\n\nBy registering to our events you give your permission to LINXS \, according to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)\, to registe r your name and e-mail address to be used for the sole purpose of distribu ting newsletters and communications on LINXS activities.\n\nhttps://indico .linxs.lu.se/event/586/ LOCATION:LINXS at The Loop URL:https://indico.linxs.lu.se/event/586/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
