Heavy Element Photophysics and Photochemistry

Educational Outreach

We frequently collaborate with university faculty and students on problems of mutual interest. For example, the first measurement of the homogeneous line width of an actinide ion f-electron transition was carried out in collaboration with Prof. R. Brundage, State Cloud State University. Much of our optically detected nuclear magnetic resonance data analysis capability is due to the efforts of Prof. J. Huang, University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire. In addition, our program has benefited from interacting with several visiting scholars.

AIC slide

Beitz developed a demonstration interactive, animated slide show to show the potential for such a presentation in a kiosk in the new Argonne Information Center (AIC). This presentation was the basis for securing Laboratory funding to create the kiosk and use related materials to highlight research in the Chemistry Division and its significance to the general public. Subsequently, he developed an extensive set of interactive, animated slides for the AIC kiosk that present the Group’s research in a context that is centered on the Periodic Table of the Elements from several different perspectives. The first of these AIC slides is shown in the image.

In the computer-based presentation, most objects on the slides are animated to stimulate interest and focus user attention on a particular topic. For example, the laser-induced fluorescence graphic at the right of this slide is presented as a short on-screen movie that begins to play within the overall sequence of animated slide objects.
