Daniel M. Pajerowski

     Daniel Pajerowski (pictured at left with a light lunch) is a physicist at the Spallation Neutron Source on the Cold Neutron Chopper Spectrometer , at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, TN. He is interested in fundamental and applied research. As of May 2017, the fundamental work is towards quantum mechanics (specifically magnetism), and the applied work is on interfaces and others. As a beamline scientist, he gets involved in a hodge-podge of different projects in a supporting role.
Materials families studied may be complex cyanides or complex oxides, or sometimes even more complicated organometallics. One complex cyanide is Prussian blue, which is shown on the atomic scale as the background of this page, and shown utilized for its beautiful color at right ("The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by Hokusai).
     Practically, this research involves lab-work to measure material properties such as: magnetization, optical-spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, resistivity, electron-microscopy, and others. Samples are often prepared using wet-chemical methods, but high temperature solid-state synthesis is sometimes required. Data analysis often requires usage of software packages and extensive programming, with scripting and prototyping with Python (numpy, scipy, matplotlib, and others) and heavier jobs using C. Frequently, the utilization of larger facilities is also necessary, which include: the National High Magnetic Field Lab, The National Light Source, Oak Ridge National Lab (Neutron Sciences), The Advanced Photon Source, NIST Center for Neutron Research, and The Institut Laue Langevin, where neutron scattering, high magnetic fields, powerful x-rays, and other high-powered techniques are available.
