Soft X‐ray diffraction gratings coupled with advanced multilayer coatings represent a pivotal innovation in the development of high‐resolution spectroscopic instruments. These devices utilise periodic ...

The basic physical process of irradiating a material with photons of a known energy and measuring the ejected photoelectrons has remained unchanged over six decades since it was first commercialized.

An X-ray photoelectron spectrometer is an impressive bit of kit. The relatively low energy of the detected photoelectrons dictates that the experiments are performed in ultra-high vacuum. The ...

X-ray spectroscopy techniques (e.g. X-ray emission spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, etc.) are used in a variety of applications including in material science, astronomy, and biomedical.

With a novel approach to X-ray spectroscopy, researchers are now able to capture detailed, ultrafast snapshots of electron interactions. The technique, called stochastic Stimulated X-ray Raman ...

What is Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM)? Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) is a powerful imaging technique that combines the principles of X-ray spectroscopy and microscopy ...

On Sept. 6, a new satellite left Earth to tell us about the motions of hot plasma flows in the universe. Launched from Tanegashima Space Center in Japan, the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission ...

Scientists have taken the world's first X-ray SIGNAL (or SIGNATURE) of just one atom. This groundbreaking achievement could revolutionize the way scientists detect the materials. A team of scientists ...

A team of scientists from Ohio University, Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Illinois-Chicago, and others, led by Ohio University Professor of Physics, and Argonne National Laboratory ...

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is based on the same principle as all photoelectron spectroscopy methods. If a molecule or material is irradiated with light of a known energy above the ionization ...
