Real time loading of single crystals
A new load frame / diffractometer has been commissioned at CHESS for X-ray diffraction experiments on engineering materials during in-situ mechanical testing.
Global research team unveils new mechanism of controlled crystallization yielding high-performance organic transistors
Organic electronics is being extensively studied for its potential to create flexible displays [1] and sensors [2]. The current best performance materials involve soluble aromatic molecules with extended π-orbitals.
Preventing wavefront distortions in x-ray optics
It is well known that delivery of undistorted laser beams requires superior optics. To a much more demanding degree, delivery of highly coherent ERL x-ray beams from source to experiment requires small wavefront distortion over the whole beam.
