Synchrotron beamlines and their instruments are built to harness the photon beam power of synchrotron radiation (SR), which has special properties - ideally suited to providing detailed and accurate ...

Lower figures are the electron density distribution analyzed in this study, where the filling process of Ar gas into the pores of MCM-48 is observed as a change in electron density. An Osaka ...

For the first time, researchers can study the microstructures inside metals, ceramics and rocks with X-rays in a standard laboratory without needing to travel to a particle accelerator, according to ...

New research paper titled “Mapping of the mechanical response in Si/SiGe nanosheet device geometries” from researchers at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center and Brookhaven National Laboratory. Sponsored ...

Lab scale: Members of Ashley Bucsek’s group can now use three-dimensional X-ray diffraction to study polycrystalline materials on campus, whereas they would previously only have been able to do this ...

The technique is typically carried out on a single crystal, but because not all substances easily form good quality crystals, powder X-ray diffraction (PXD) is sometimes used instead. Powder X-ray ...
