Synchrotron X-ray Microdiffraction and Fluorescence Imaging of Mineral and Rock Samples

9.5K
We describe a beamline setup meant to carry out rapid two-dimensional x-ray fluorescence and x-ray microdiffraction mapping of single crystal or powder samples using either Laue (polychromatic radiation) or powder (monochromatic radiation) diffraction. The resulting maps give information about strain, orientation, phase distribution, and plastic deformation.

Source: Laboratory of Alan Lester - University of Colorado Boulder
The physical properties of minerals include various measurable and discernible attributes, including color, streak, magnetic properties, hardness, crystal growth form, and crystal cleavage. These properties are mineral-specific, and they are fundamentally related to a particular mineral’s chemical make-up and atomic structure.
This video examines several physical properties that are useful in field and hand sample mineral...

Cell Culture on Silicon Nitride Membranes and Cryopreparation for Synchrotron X-ray Fluorescence Nano-analysis

9.9K
Presented here is a protocol for cell culture on silicon nitride membranes and plunge-freezing prior to X-ray fluorescence imaging with a synchrotron cryogenic X-ray nanoprobe. When only room temperature nano-analysis is provided, the frozen samples can be further freeze-dried. These are critical steps to obtain information on the intracellular elemental...

Synthesis and Microdiffraction at Extreme Pressures and Temperatures

11.7K
The laser heated diamond anvil cell combined with synchrotron micro-diffraction techniques allows researchers to explore the nature and properties of new phases of matter at extreme pressure and temperature (PT) conditions. Heterogeneous samples can be characterized in situ under high pressure by 2D mapping and combined powder, single-crystal and multigrain diffraction...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Crystallography

Background:

  • Characterizing nanocrystal properties is crucial for advanced materials.
  • Synchrotron X-ray Laue microdiffraction is key for crystal structure and orientation mapping.
  • Limited spatial resolution in microdiffraction hinders mapping of sub-beam-sized grains.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for high-resolution grain morphology mapping of nanocrystals.
  • To overcome the spatial resolution limits of X-ray microdiffraction techniques.
  • To enable nanoscale characterization of materials using diffraction probes.

Main Methods:

  • A physics-informed machine learning (PIML) approach was developed.
  • The PIML method integrates a convolutional neural network with physics-informed filtering.
  • Synchrotron microdiffraction scans were performed on gold (Au) nanocrystals.

Main Results:

  • The PIML method achieved nanoscale resolution for grain mapping.
  • Accurate determination of grain size, orientation distribution, and morphology was demonstrated.
  • Results showed good agreement with conventional electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) data.

Conclusions:

  • PIML-assisted microdiffraction successfully maps nanocrystal grains at nanoscale resolution.
  • This technique overcomes limitations of X-ray probe size for sub-micrometre materials.
  • The PIML approach is generalizable to other diffraction-based characterization methods.
