Optical “tweezers” combine with X-rays to enable analysis of crystals in liquids

Optical “tweezers” hold crystal steady for X-ray experiment.

March 21, 2019 | Materials Science and Engineering

$Scientists have found a way to use “optical tweezers” by employing lasers, a mirror and a light modulator to anchor a crystal in solution. The “tweezers” have made it possible to conduct X-ray diffraction measurements of a crystal suspended in solution.$

Press Release

Scientists track patterns of island growth in crystals

Argonne scientists reveal connections as crystalline layers form.

March 14, 2019 | Materials Science and Engineering, X-Ray Science and Technology, Photonics

This image from a simulation shows the formation of islands during layer-by-layer growth of a gallium nitride crystal. In this image, each color corresponds to a different layer and snapshots are shown at different points in time. A new discovery has shown that each layer tends to form in a pattern similar to the preceding layer. (Image by Argonne National Laboratory.)
