The high sensitivity of the reflection electron microscopy (REM) technique to small changes in the crystal structure and composition of the top surface layers of various crystalline materials makes it ...

Could you start by explaining your background in crystallography and how you began using the Rigaku Synergy-ED system? Fraser: I began my journey into crystallography at the University of Edinburgh in ...

This article has been updated in January 2024. High resolution images of microscopic samples can be obtained experimentally using Scanning Electron Transmission Microscopy (STEM). It is an effective ...

Using electron beam diffraction analysis with advanced TEM, the research visually confirmed the stress formed at the electrolyte interface. Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) was used to ...

Back in 2010, crystallographer Tim Gruene heard a scientist from drugmaker Novartis say something that stuck with him. The pharmaceutical giant had amassed a collection of around 2 million small ...

Electron-beam inspection is proving to be indispensable for finding critical defects at sub-5nm dimensions. The challenge now is how to speed up the process to make it economically palatable to fabs.

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 ...

Nanomaterials are used in various fields due to their distinct size-dependent properties, and accurate characterization is essential to optimize and design them for specific applications. 1 For ...

MapSweeper software revolutionizes EBSD analysis by overcoming traditional indexing limitations, enhancing accuracy and speed in materials characterization.
