Diffraction studies under in situ electric field using a large-area hybrid pixel XPAD detector

The diffraction response of a single crystal subjected to an in situ electric field periodically reversed is recorded with an XPAD large-area hybrid pixel detector. This new approach to the field-switching method offers unprecedented perspectives to analyse the electric field-induced structural deformations.

Fast pole figure acquisition using area detectors at the DiffAbs beamline - Synchrotron SOLEIL

An optimized experimental approach for measuring pole figures at the DiffAbs beamline (Synchrotron SOLEIL) is described. An X-ray pixel area detector and synchrotron radiation are used to access complete pole figures (with tunable angular resolution) in time intervals as short as one minute.
