A study led by University of Oxford and Brookhaven National Laboratory researchers has uncovered how exposure to hydrogen ...

This „diffraction before destruction" method produces high-quality diffraction pattern even from tiny crystals.

When a laser beam is incident on many small objects such as lycopodium powder, the resulting diffraction pattern is similar to the diffraction pattern of a small circular aperture (Airy's disk pattern ...

The diffraction patterns provide atomic-length-scale snapshots of the material structure at specific moments during rearrangement.

Young’s experiment involves directing light from a single, preferably monochromatic, source through two small apertures and measuring the resulting intensity pattern on a screen. Diffraction from each ...

These experiments involve squeezing tiny samples of iron between the tips of diamonds, heating them with a laser beam and at the same time illuminating them with X-rays from a synchrotron source to ...
