The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

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 ...

Scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) used giant lasers to flash-freeze water into its exotic superionic phase and record X-ray diffraction patterns to identify its atomic ...

“The method of high-energy electron diffraction makes it possible to combine the advantages of electron diffraction – such as significantly reduced radiation damage effects and improved visibility of ...

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

Mixed in with the ordinary sand on the beaches of Hiroshima Bay are tiny glass beads, easy to overlook unless you know what ...

In materials science, particularly in the study of glasses, the intermediate range order (IRO) is one of the most intriguing research areas owing to its significant influence over the physical ...
