Structural Materials

The Structure of Materials Group provides facilities for a range of X-ray scattering, imaging and spectroscopy experiments, relevant to the fields of energy research, catalysis, engineering, metallurgy, nanoscience and other elements of advanced technology, along with aspects of fundamental structural physics and chemistry. In addition of traditional technological subjects, the Structure of Materials Group covers also X-ray imaging studies for archaeology and palaeontology.

  • Structural studies by diffraction and scattering from crystalline, polycrystalline, defective and glassy materials, including anomalous scattering
  • Grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction and small-angle scattering, as well as X-ray reflectivity, from surfaces and interfaces
  • Dynamic, time-resolved and in situ studies
  • Ultra-fast tomography, phase-contrast imaging and coherent diffraction imaging
  • Laminography and radioscopy
