Cutting Edge Tools for Crystallography
- Sander van Smaalen (University of Bayreuth)
STOE has a long-standing tradition in building state-of-the-art x-ray diffractometers that are well known for their mechanical stability and flexibility. This allows for routine analyses and advanced characterizations to be performed equally well on STOE diffractometers.
This talk highlights recent advances in instrumentation for STOE’s single crystal and powder diffractometers and shows...
Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) allows for direct detection of X-rays in single-photon counting mode. HPC provides a number of benefits such as a sharp point-spread function, the absence of detector background, and outstanding dynamic range. High-Z sensors enable high quantum efficiencies for high X-ray energies and bring the benefits of HPC to hard X-ray applications. This presentation outlines...
Empirical single crystal growth protocols have several limitations, in both the number of experiments one can reasonably test, the possible experimental conditions attainable, and an overall lack of reproducibility. Good practice can overcome some of these problems.
We describe several common single crystal growth methods, together with the chemical rational behind them, and how to perform...
This presentation will feature dedicated instrumentation for 3D ED/MicroED and a couple of interesting datasets.
With the recent launch of the XRDynamic 500 automated multipurpose powder X-ray diffractometer, Anton Paar has expanded its portfolio of high-performance X-ray analysis solutions which also includes SAXS instrumentation, non-ambient XRD attachments, X-ray sources, and X-ray optics.
XRD and SAXS are vital tools to study the atomic and nanoscale structure of materials in both fundamental and...
