Materials scientists at Rice University have developed a new workflow methodology for measuring microscopic defects in ...

Instead of performing conventional search-match or iterative peak subtraction, XDecomposer directly decomposes a mixed diffraction pattern into phase-wise components through query-based blind source ...

“The method of high-energy electron diffraction makes it possible to combine the advantages of electron diffraction – such as significantly reduced radiation damage effects and improved visibility of ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...

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 ...

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

NASICON (sodium superionic conductor) based ceramics are one of the most promising classes of solidstate electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries. However, the mechanism of sodium ion diffusion is ...
