In a process analogous to how solids melt into liquids, the electrons in many different metals form crystal-like patterns ...
A long-standing mystery in materials science is beginning to unravel as researchers directly probe the hidden atomic ...
What was discovered: Scientists observed that electron crystals in metals can deform and melt like solids, disrupting their ordered patterns. Why it matters: Manipulating these structures could enable ...
Could you start by explaining your background in crystallography and how you began using the Rigaku Synergy-ED system? Fraser: I began my journey into crystallography at the University of Edinburgh in ...
What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...
One of the defining breakthroughs that set quantum physics apart from classical physics was the realization that matter behaves very differently at ...
Quantum melting observed: Scientists melted electron crystals in tantalum sulfide, revealing a process similar to solid melting but affecting only electronic properties. Potential tech impact: ...
A new technique that combines electron microscopy and laser technology enables programmable, arbitrary shaping of electron beams. It can potentially be used for optimizing electron optics and for ...
In geology, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is a powerful tool for the observation and analysis of microstructures and for phase identification. The EBSD system, by Oxford Instruments, ...
