Webinar on XRR in the Marcus Lobby on Dec 15th, 2016

Do you want to collect high-quality X-ray reflectometry data? Good practices that will help

X-ray reflectometry (XRR) is a well-established analytical method for the characterization of thin layered structures, surfaces and interfaces. It is used to determine layer thicknesses and densities and provides roughness-related information. The basics of XRR and the analysis of XRR data were discussed in a previous webinar. This time, the focus will be on a typical workflow, from setting up the X-ray optics of a diffractometer, the essential steps of the sample alignment procedures to the final XRR measurement.
Don’t miss the useful practices and tips that we will share with you in this webinar. They will help you to collect high-quality XRR data from your layered samples.

December 15, 2016
10:00am EDT New York or 4:00pm CET the Netherlands

Will be displayed on the main monitor in the lobby of the MCF in the Marcus Nanotechnology Building.

Webinar: See how material research is made easy!

Materials research is everywhere – from pharmaceuticals over geological exploration to research on the latest nanomaterials. In all these fields X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a key tool.
PANalytical’s new benchtop X-ray diffractometer has been designed for easy everyday analysis of your materials. Yet, the performance of the instrument is what you would previously only have expected from a full-power, large floor-standing X-ray diffraction system. What is more, the system allows for the use of an non-ambient stage for the study of changes in your materials at temperatures up to 500 °C. More information can be found here.

 

Atlanta Science Festival 2016 – Thanks

Thank you to all the volunteers who helped us put on our Atlanta Science Festival Event –
“Whats All the Buzz About Nanotechnology” – on March 19th.
A special thanks to Rathi Monikandan and Chris Yang for running the Hitachi tabletop and 8230 SEM’s. Roughly 100 kids and kids-at-heart learned a little about nanotechnology and had fun in the process.
