Talks (non-conference)

In this combined talk, first a comprehensive library of nanopatterns derived from a single block copolymer (BCP) exhibit wide range of structures from simple spheres to more intricate forms, including split micelles, flower-like clusters, toroids, disordered arrays, and other unique morphologies [1]. Using polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) surface micelles deposited on SiOx surfaces, a distinctive transformation in morphology is triggered by direct immersion in various solvents.

Accelerator-driven neutron sources offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional sources such as fission reactors and spallation sources. The advent of high-current proton accelerator systems has given rise to a new class of neutron facility, termed High-Current Accelerator-driven Neutron Sources (HiCANS), which has unique properties and capabilities.The High-Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) project at Forschungszentrum Jülich is developing a HiCANS facility.

Polarized beams and targets are an important tool in nuclear physics to study the spin dependence of nuclear forces at accelerators such as COSY@FZ Jülich. For this reason, various polarization methods have been developed in recent decades for hydrogen, deuterium and helium-3, which are now also used in other fields. [...]
