Title:   X-ray Micro/nanodiffracton and Application

Time:  9:45 - 10:30 AM, July 8, 2015, Wednesday

Place: HPSTAR seminar room, 3rd floor, Building Dongrong, HPSTAR (Changchun)

Host:  Dr. Haozhe Liu


Abstract

Utilizing synchrotron radiation of high brilliance and advanced focusing optics, X-ray microdiffraction has pushed its spatial resolution to a level that covers fundamental length scales in structure and dynamics of various material systems. It combines X-ray micro/nanofocusing capability with x-ray’s high sensitivity in chemical element and crystallographic structure to study spatially resolved elemental content, microstructure, crystallographic phase, lattice strain, and collective electronic state. In this talk I will present the development of the X-ray microscopy techniques at the Advanced Photon Source and their applications.
