Fig. 2. (a) Coherent phonon oscillations with a frequency of 2.6 THz observed in optical pump/femtosecond x-ray diffraction probe experiments for different pump fluences of the mid-infrared excitation ...

X-ray crystallography, like mass spectroscopy and nuclear spectroscopy, is an extremely useful material characterization technique that is unfortunately hard for amateurs to perform. The physical ...

When it comes to benchtop powder x-ray diffractometers, researchers may think of systems in which functionality is sacrificed in favor of conserving space and cost. Users may be left with the ...

Condensed-matter physics and materials science have a silo problem. Although researchers in these fields have access to vast amounts of data – from experimental records of crystal structures and ...

The images (b) show the collagen distribution in pike bones before (left) and after (right) a μCT experiment and (c) before (left) and after (right) an X-ray diffraction μCT experiment at the mySpot ...

On June 13, The University of Sydney’s, Sydney Analytical, proudly opened their new high performance single crystal X-ray diffraction facility. Befitting of this world class facility, the newly ...

Inside the Findings That Shaped Materials Science takes a closer look at some of those turning points - the ideas, lab innovations, and breakthroughs that shifted the way we study and use materials.

What is X-Ray Scattering? X-ray scattering is a powerful analytical technique used to probe the structure and properties of materials at the nanoscale. It involves directing a beam of X-rays at a ...
