Keith Lawler and Craig Schwartz (both Nevada Extreme Conditions Laboratory) have been awarded a four-year, $999,305 grant from the Department of Energy Building EPSCoR-State/National Laboratory Partnerships program for their project "Probing Perovskite Chirality with the Orbital Angular Momentum of X-rays." This project seeks to exploit recent advances in X-ray optics, light sources, and computational tools to develop X-ray helical dichroism spectroscopy into a widely accessible technique from both a theoretical and experimental point of view to study the nature of chirality on the atomic scale in condensed matter systems.
