peace

NFFA-Trieste expresses its solidarity to all colleagues and people directly or indirectly affected by the ongoing aggressive war in Ukraine.

We wish to maintain our openness with the aim of reinforcing the peaceful global collaboration for excellent science, in the spirit of the ERICE Statement, signed in 1982 by Paul Dirac, Piotr Kapitza and Antonio Zichichi, and by over ninety thousands scientists worldwide. In case that higher level decisions will impact our access policy, we will promptly inform the international users.

Multitechnique investigation on Hydrogen Production Mechanism in Low-Temperature Methanol Decomposition Catalyzed by Ni3Sn4 Intermetallic Compound
The combination of operando/in situ X-Ray spectroscopies and DFT calculations allowed to clarify the role of SnOx surface content in NixSny intermetallic compounds in enhancing their selectivity to H2 during catalytic methanol decomposition reaction.
Multiferroic Heterostructures: changes in magnetism regulated by photostriction
Measurements at the APE-HE beamline of Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste have helped to determine spectroscopically the magnetic changes of Ni thin film due to light induced photostriction in PMN-PT ferroelectric substrate.
