RESEARCH INTERESTS
Dr Fullagar's research interests include:
- in house experimental realizaton of atomic resolution, ultrafast diffraction and spectroscopic X-ray techniques, particularly Laue and EXAFS
- prototyping and implementation of in-house short pulse hard X-ray sources using ultrafast lasers, and other novel pulsed particle and X-ray sources
- microbolometric energy dispersive detectors for elimination of monochromators on low flux sources
- novel beamline topologies for ultrafast molecular structure dynamics studies
- high energy electron beam generation using femtosecond terawatt lasers
- sub-picosecond short pulse broadband hard X-ray generation at proposed MAX-IV facility (Sweden)
- major facility development (MAX-IV linac and European Spallation Source, Sweden)
- establishment of user facilities at the Australian Synchrotron, including imaging capabilities.
- area detectors for use on pulsed polychromatic and monochromatic X-ray sources
