(Nanowerk News) Turning up the intensity of x-ray beams used to probe the atomic structures of materials can actually reduce the intensity of x-rays scattered from the material, a RIKEN-led team has ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2024.230184 , discusses tailoring electron vortex beams with customizable intensity patterns by electron diffraction holography. In ...

With the demand for high-performnce materials increasing, it has become necessary to optimize their structural properties at the nanoscale, underscoring the importance of systematic and routine ...

Ptychography is an area-by-area scanning method that uses constant, coherent illumination to scan a region of a sample in several adjacent and overlapping locations. The dispersed radiation is ...

As we all know, light on its own tends to travel in a straight line. When it gets sent through an aperture like a flashlight, diffraction occurs, which causes the beam to widen and lose its intensity.

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 ...

In a physics first, a team including scientists from UB and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons travel in curves. These Airy beams ...

What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...
