Career Perspectives at our Partners: Maria-Alexandra Paun, Federal Office of Communications
Our partners are interested in attracting PSI's early career researchers, and we introduce scientists working at partner companies to showcase career perspectives. In today's post, meet Maria-Alexandra Paun, who did her PhD in Microelectronics and Microsystems at EPFL and is currently working at the Federal Office of Communications. She tells us how she managed the transition away from academia, and what she is working on now.
New Monochromators for SLS 2.0
The brand-new monochromators that have been built by XDS Oxford for the hard X-ray beamlines at SLS 2.0 have now arrived. They were unpacked beginning of the week, and are currently being tested in our new lab space at Park Innovaare. These advanced instruments will play a crucial role in enhancing the beamline performance, ensuring superior precision and efficiency in the upcoming experiments.
Le seigneur des fluides
Lorsqu’il était étudiant, Athanasios Mokos se passionnait déjà pour la dynamique des fluides. Aujourd’hui, il modélise des processus complexes à l’Institut Paul Scherrer PSI, comme la formation de dépôts sur des crayons combustibles dans les réacteurs nucléaires.
Recognition at MNE 2024 Micrograph Contest
The MNE conference is the flagship event of the International Society for Micro- and Nanotechnology (iMNEs). The research fields covered by the MNE conferences have consistently driven advancements in the development of smaller and smaller structures. To emphasize the significance of micrographs in this field, the conference features a micrograph contest, sponsored and hosted by Zyvex Labs. Entries are judged based on both their technological relevance and artistic merit.
This year, Peng Qi from the X-ray Nano Optics group, LXN, CPS, earned third place and an honorable mention for his two submitted images.

Happy Birthday, DECTRIS!
La société DECTRIS AG a été fondée il y a environ 18 ans en tant que spin-off de l’Institut Paul Scherrer (PSI) et s'est depuis établie comme un fournisseur de premier plan de solutions en détection des rayons X et des électrons. L’impressionnant développement de l’entreprise est le résultat de recherches innovantes, d’un travail d'équipe exceptionnel et d'une orientation claire vers les besoins du marché.
Converting the CHF3 greenhouse gas into LiF coating for high-voltage cathode materials toward high-energy density Li-ion batteries
The instability and the fading of high voltage cathode materials above 4.3 V remains a major challenge for the next generation of high energy density Li-ion batteries. Here, we present a facile, environmentally friendly, cost effective and scalable method to address this problem by uniformly fluorinating the surface of cathode materials with CHF3, a mild fluorinating agent but a potent greenhouse gas. CHF3 is successfully transformed into ~2 nm LiF homogenous layer covering the surface of layered-oxide cathode materials.

Ferromagnetic quantum critical point protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry in a Kondo metal
Quantum critical points (QCPs), zero-temperature phase transitions, are win- dows to fundamental quantum-mechanical phenomena associated with universal behaviour. Magnetic QCPs have been extensively investigated in the vicinity of antiferromagnetic order. However, QCPs are rare in metallic ferromagnets due to the coupling of the order parameter to electronic soft modes. Recently, antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling in noncentrosymmetric systems was suggested to protect ferromagnetic QCPs. Nonetheless, multiple centrosymmetric materials ...
