With a highly brilliance micro-focus X-ray beam, 15A aims to determine 3D crystal structures from micro-scale single crystals and non-ambient conditions.

 

SCIENTIFIC SCOPE

 

SCIENTIFIC OPPORTUNITIES

• Challenging difficult crystal
• Metastable state structure
• Photo-induced structure
  
• Non-ambient conditions on crystal structure
  
• Pump-probe (time-resolved) structure

 

 

CORE EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES

• Single crystal X-ray diffraction
• Laue diffraction
• Sub-nanosecond to sub-microsecond time-resolved structural information
• Micro-beam diffraction
• Non-ambient technique with diamond anvil cell

 

UNIQUE FEATURES

• Micro-size chemical crystal structural determination
• Non-ambient crystal structural characterization:
       - photo-excitation
       - high pressure (Up to 20 GPa )
       - ultra low temperature (15 K )

• Pink beam Laue diffraction
• Sub-nanosecond to micro-second pump-probe single crystal X-ray diffraction
