Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom. A ...

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

The authors discuss the valuable information that can be obtained from indexing and its applications in routine screening and analysis of solid forms. Crystal-structure determination using X-ray ...

Do not exceed 10 mA of current! The electron diffraction tube is fragile. Handle with care. Turn down the high voltage when not in use. It is worthwhile to contrast the diffraction of electrons with ...

Diffraction phenomena are of fundamental importance for the characterization and analysis of materials in industrial and scientific applications. Prominent examples include X-ray crystallography as ...

(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 ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a technique in which the diffraction of X-rays by a sample of interest is analyzed. When used as a basic technique (X-ray powder diffraction), it can determine the ...
