The Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory is supported by the Division of Chemical Sciences within the Office of Basic Energy Sciences at the U.S. Department of Energy, through a cooperative agreement with the University of Notre Dame.
Dr. Jay LaVerne of the Radiation Laboratory will be giving a lecture at the American Chemical Society fall meeting in San Diego, California, this August. His presentation is titled, "Radiation Effects in Molten Salts."…
Professor Sylwia Ptasinska will be traveling to Belgrade to attend the International Workshop on Low-Energy Positron and Positronium Physics, and the International Symposium on Electron-Molecule Collisions and Swarms. While there, she will be presenting a paper titled "Electron-Induced Fragmentation of Peptide Model Molecules."…
Professor Prashant Kamat from the Radiation Laboratory will be presenting at several conferences in June. He will be presenting "Quantum Dots to Perovskites. Tuning Semiconductor Nanostructures for Light Energy Conversion" at the Nankai International Conference on Solar Energy Conversion in China. He will be presenting "Visualizing Halide Ion Mobility in Metal Halide Perovskite Films through Photo and Thermal Effects" at the SISF Conference in Seoul, Korea. Professor Kamat will also present "Stalking Halide Ion Migration in Lead Halides Perovskites" at the ICMAT Conference in Singapore.…

Patricia Huestis has won an award from the DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Program. This supplemental award is given to outstanding U.S. graduate students to pursue part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE laboratory. Patricia will spend the summer of 2019 working at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory under the guidance of Drs. Sue Clark and Greg Kimmel. She will be helping to develop and use a RADAFM device for examining the modification of interfaces during in situ radiolysis. This device is a combination of an x-ray or electron source with an atomic force microscope (AFM). Patricia will be studying the radiolysis of aluminum hydroxide and oxyhydroxide compounds for a better understanding of their interactions with aqueous environments pertinent to the cleanup of the radioactive waste tanks at the Hanford Washington site.…
