Biography

Dr Michael Went was awarded his PhD from Griffith University, Australia in 2003, for his work on spin polarized electron scattering from heavy atomic targets. After his PhD his work has focussed on condensed matter and material science where he developed techniques for material analysis using high energy electron scattering. Michael's current research interests are directed towards understanding nano-porosity using positron annihilation spectroscopy on the CAMS materials beamline.

Research Interests
Materials Science/Condensed matter physics High energy electron and positron interaction with materials

Available Student Projects

Zeolite Films Studied by Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy

Suitable for: 3rd Year, PhB

Supervisor: Dr JP Sullivan , Dr MR Went , Professor SJ Buckman

The student will produce unique zeolite structures and perform characterization experiments on them using the materials beamline at the Australian Positron Beamline facility.

Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy

Suitable for: PhD/Masters

Supervisor: Dr JP Sullivan , Dr MR Went , Professor SJ Buckman

The student will use a pulsed positron beam for materials characterisation through PALS (Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy) experiments.
