Reduction of radiation damage and other benefits of short wavelengths for macromolecular crystallography data collection

X-ray photons with energy higher than usual improve both the number and the quality of diffraction data from a given macromolecular crystal.

Real-time synchrotron X-ray diffraction study on the isothermal martensite transformation of maraging steel in high magnetic fields

Time-dependent microbeam X-ray diffraction experiments have been performed on the isothermal austenite-to-martensite transformation in maraging steel. The transformation behaviour of a set of individual austenite grains is monitored in detail and correlated to the microstructural features.

Coating thickness determination in highly absorbent core-shell systems

A single-shot methodology to derive an average coating thickness in multi-particle core-shell systems exhibiting a high X-ray absorption is presented. This approach is based on X-ray nanotomography and high-energy X-ray diffraction.
