What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...

Electrons oscillate around the nucleus of an atom on extremely short timescales, typically completing a cycle in just a few hundred attoseconds. Because of their ultrafast motions, directly observing ...

A new beam-shift-based 4D EMCD technique maps three-dimensional spin vectors at individual atomic planes and reveals ...

Could you start by explaining your background in crystallography and how you began using the Rigaku Synergy-ED system? Fraser: I began my journey into crystallography at the University of Edinburgh in ...

Researchers carry out surface LEED crystallography of antiferromagnetic crystal NiO, providing experimental as well as theoretical insights for applications such as ultrafast spintronics. Spintronics ...

In geology, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is a powerful tool for the observation and analysis of microstructures and for phase identification. The EBSD system, by Oxford Instruments, ...

Researchers have determined the structure of the protein rubredoxin at 0.43 Ångström resolution, marking the highest ...

Researchers have developed an atom-diffraction imaging method with micrometer spatial resolution, which may allow new applications in material characterization. Microscopy with atoms offers new ...

Today, astronomers seek to observe the faintest and most distant objects possible. Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs), with apertures in the order of several dozen meters, are the next generation ...
