X-ray spectroscopy techniques (e.g. X-ray emission spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, etc.) are used in a variety of applications including in material science, astronomy, and biomedical.

Inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) and spectroscopy have emerged as indispensable tools in modern materials science, chemistry and condensed matter physics. By measuring the energy lost by X-rays after ...

What is X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS)? X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) is a powerful analytical technique that probes the local atomic and electronic structure of materials by measuring the ...

Four principal methods govern the preparation of samples for XRF analysis, each representing a different trade-off between analytical quality and speed/cost of preparation. A method involving the ...

The copper target was operated at voltages of 11 kV, 12 kV, 13 kV, and 14 kV for the electron source, and a 50 kV configuration using a molybdenum target was used as a representative example for the ...

What is Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM)? Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) is a powerful imaging technique that combines the principles of X-ray spectroscopy and microscopy ...

The many-body interaction of charges (electrons) and nuclei (phonons) plays a critical role in determining the properties and functionalities of molecules and solids. The exact correlated motion of ...

Researchers have combined various x-ray imaging technologies to create multi-contrast images that can be used to detect threatening materials such as explosives in thousands of complicated scenarios.

Physicists have finally done what once sounded like science fiction: they have read the X-ray “fingerprint” of a single atom, isolating the signal of one of nature’s smallest building blocks from the ...
