IN a recent letter by J. Dyson concerning an optical analogue of X-ray and electron diffraction patterns 1, no reference is made to the previous experiments made with other models for exhibiting such ...

A new article describes the emerging technique of X-ray powder diffraction, which has been used to map the movement of electrons in real time and to observe a concerted electron and proton transfer ...

Short-pulse high-power laser systems make it possible to produce hot plasmas of solid-state density. Early experiments using sub-nanosecond pulses demonstrated the generation of X-ray radiation from ...

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 ...

X-rays are electromagnetic radiations having wavelengths roughly within the range from 0.05 to 100 Angstroms. They were discovered in 1895 by Rontgen. Their similarities to light led to the tests of ...

With the development of different techniques for the synthesis of nanomaterials, researchers are constantly looking for a more precise instrument for their nanoscale characterization. X-ray ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a non-invasive method for determining that can be used in phase analysis investigations of crystalline materials. Image Credit: AgriTech/Shutterstock.com The essential idea ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to evaluate crystalline materials and determine their structural properties. As one of the most widely used ...
