Research Activity and Projects

Recent Research activity

The scientific activity of the XAS laboratory has been mainly focused on Research and Development of XAS x-ray absorption spectroscopy since the early 90s. This activity is internationally recognized (see also publications, highlights and awards).

Current research lines include:
  • 1) Matter under extreme conditions using advanced spectroscopic techniques at synchrotron radiation (high pressure/high temperature cells) and free-electron-laser facilities.
  • 2) Structural characterization of advanced nanomaterials for energy-related applications.
  • 3) Development of new data-analysis and simulation methods for x-ray absorption and related techniques using synchrotron radiation and FELs.
    More information about research of our group can be found browsing our publication and highlights lists.

    Funding and active projects

  • The XAS group is involved in the national PRIN project E-ICES (Probing the Exotic properties of gas and ions filled ICES under extreme conditions: from planetary interiors modelling to hydrogen storage and green Energy applications), 2023-2025 grant 2022NRBLPT). The Unicam principal investigator is Prof. A. Di Cicco. E-ICES is an Italian funded PRIN multisite collaborative project (3 Universities - Unicam, Uni Roma 1, UniAq- and CNR). Total approved funding 190 kEuro.
  • Since 2023 the XAS group is involved in the PNRR Project VITALITY ECS00000041 “Innovation, digitalisation and sustainability for the diffused economy in Central Italy”, as affiliated group in the spoke 9 “Nanostructured materials and devices” (University of Perugia, CNR, private companies).
  • Since 2023 the XAS group is involved in the PNRR Project NQSTI “National Quantum Science and Technology Institute”, as affiliated group in the spoke 5 “Electron-based platform for quantum technologies” (University of Pisa, CNR).
