Dictionary
APXPS
Used for studying the chemical and physical processes involved in the interactions between a solid surface and its environment, to better understand corrosion processes, surface catalysis, etc.ARPES
Used for studying the electronic structure of surfaces and materials and to map the dispersion of electronic bands near the Fermi level.
BioSAXS
Small Angle X-ray Scattering used for obtaining information on the shape and size and of biological macromolecules in solution, for example the molecular weight of a protein complex.
Fragment Screening
A powerful technique frequently used within drug discovery to screen fragment libraries for specific binding to a biological target, such as probing the functional sites of target proteins or to find starting points for development of novel pharmaceutical substances.
MX
Used for determining the atomic, three-dimensional structures of large biological molecules and understand the structure-function relationship.
PEEM
A non-destructive technique used for constructing three-dimensional images from two-dimensional projections. It can let you characterize internal structures of porous materials or determine deviations inside components.
SAXS
Suitable for investigate the structure of partially ordered materials and systems that may be complex or difficult to crystallise. X-rays allow experiments at a wider range of length scales and at faster measurement times than possible with lab-based instruments.
X-ray Tomography
A non-destructive technique used for constructing three-dimensional images from two-dimensional projections. It can let you characterize internal structures of porous materials or determine deviations inside components.
XAS
Used for understanding electronic properties and local and geometric information of materials, including both liquids, gases, and solids.
XPS
Used for studying the structure of your material and how it interacts with its environment, so that you can adjust it and improve its performance. You can study its electronic properties, chemical speciation, etc.
XRD Diffraction
Used for structure characterisation of materials, such as phase identification from surfaces or of crystalline materials, or structural characterisation of catalysts under in situ conditions.
