Transient phases during coating of an organic semiconductor film
A key element for bringing organic electronics to the market place is the understanding of the microstructure formation during coating and printing.
Xraise hits the highway with physics exhibits aboard the Ithaca Physics Bus
The outreach team here at CHESS has been taking its show cross-country while the cold finally settles on the Northeast.
New light shed on crystalline and electronic structure correlations in organic thin films
Organic electronics are a commercially well-established technology in the markets of lighting and displays. But harvesting the benefits of organics for many other electronic applications — especially the reverse process of converting light to electricity, often involves new challenges on materials properties, quality, and our fundamental understanding of how organic electronic thin films work.
New method of 3D visualization for amorphous materials
X-rays have long been the world-leading tool for crystallography, which allows researchers to make highly accurate atomic-scale maps of the perfect repeating structures that occur in crystals.
CHESS user Ober wins two awards in photopolymer science and technology
CHESS congratulates long-time user Professor Christopher K. Ober for winning two awards from the Society of Photopolymer Science and Technology – SPST: the Photopolymer Science and Technology Award (No.151100) and the Outstanding Achievement Award 2015 [1].
Save dates for exciting science workshops in June 2016!
June will be a busy time as our annual CHESS User’s Meeting June 7th 2016 kicks off a series of six science workshops.
Xraise hosts Hour-of-Code sessions
Hour of Code is a global movement that encourages students of all ages to try a one-hour introduction to computer science and the basics of coding through fun block tutorials.
Monochromatic x-ray topography capability at CHESS
The CHESS monochromatic x-ray topography capability was reported on this summer at SRI-2015. The system (shown schematically right), typically available 6 weeks per year based on user demand at station C1, consists of a beam expanding monochromator, 6-circle diffractometer, and CHESS designed CMOS camera with real time sample-alignment capability.
