Enhancing Laboratory X-ray Powder Diffraction: Fluorescence Suppression with POLLUX
The POLLUX detector overcomes X-ray fluorescence in laboratory powder diffraction by combining high dynamic range with superior energy resolution. Learn how its precise energy thresholding suppresses background noise and enables advanced techniques like the K β -mode for cleaner diffraction patterns.
Unlocking the Secrets of Optical Materials: A Conversation with Anna Krawczuk
In the world of materials science, understanding structure-property relationships is key to designing innovative materials with enhanced optical and electronic properties. Dr. Anna Krawczuk, a junior Professor at Göttingen University, is at the forefront of this pursuit, combining experimental and theoretical approaches in quantum crystallography. Recently, she has been leveraging a one-of-a-kind setup that integrates an Excillum MetalJet X-ray source, a Bruker goniometer, and a DECTRIS detector. In this interview, she shares insights into her research and how this unique instrumentation has t
