First, the researchers used a short laser pulse about 200 nanometers in wavelength to excite ammonia molecules. This pump ...

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 ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

Pattern indexing is central to electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis. Creating an effective indexing algorithm was essential in the effort to automate EBSD. There are two steps to ...

For a crystal-clear view of cutting-edge science, step into Brandon Mercado’s lab in the basement of Kline Chemistry Laboratory. But there’s a new kid in town. CBIC’s Structural Science Facility now ...

With the demand for high-performnce materials increasing, it has become necessary to optimize their structural properties at the nanoscale, underscoring the importance of systematic and routine ...

The ultrafast laser excitation of matters leads to nonequilibrium states with complex solid-liquid phase-transition dynamics. We used electron diffraction at mega–electron volt energies to visualize ...
