Synchrotron-Related Theory Group

The Synchrotron-Related Theory Group was established in 2004 as a joint program between the Department of Physics at Northern Illinois University and the Advanced Photon Source.

The group's focus is on

At the APS, the Theory Group collaborates with experimental groups at several beam lines. At NIU, the theory effort is integrated with the nanoscience program of the Institute for Nanoscience, Engineering and Technology (INSET) at NIU's Department of Physics. At Argonne, the theory program is linked with the Condensed-Matter Theory Group at the Materials Science Division, led by Mike Norman.
