The developments of a Helium Acoustic Levitation Environment for time resolved XFEL experiments

Dye E.R., Morris R.H., Newton M.I., Axford D., Aller P., Orville A.M., Docker P.T., Nottingham Trent University, UK

The study of proteins using X-ray diffraction either with synchrotrons or X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELS) has become ubiquitous. Of growing interest within the protein crystallographer community is the study of proteins as they interact [...]

Characterization of palladium nanoparticles embedded in a wool substrate

Fonseca-Paris C., Johnston J.H., Victoria University of Wellington, NZ

In the present paper we report the characterization of nanopalladium-wool fibre composites. Professor James Johnston and his research group at Victoria University of Wellington have developed a new methodology to reduce metal salts of palladium [...]

Simulating 3-Dimensional Deep X-ray Lithography Using the CXrL Toolset

Aigeldinger G., Craft B., Menz W., Louisiana State University, US

Experimental evaluation of the dose distribution resulting from 3-dimensional deep x-ray lithography is often impractical. Computer modeling is a valuable tool for simulating this system. Preliminary simulations of 3-dimensional, deep, xray lithography exposures have been [...]
