Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) is often referred to as the gold standard of sample characterisation, offering three-dimensional structure of both molecules and their crystalline packing, ...

A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not randomly, but in a coordinated rhythm, twisting and untwisting in sync like ...

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 ...

Antiferromagnetic (AF) crystals like NiO are experiencing a renaissance as promising materials for ultrafast spintronics. To re-establish old experimental results of surface property investigations ...

Electron holography is based on the fundamental principles of holography, which involves the recording and reconstruction of wavefronts. In holography, a hologram is created by capturing the ...

Altermagnets are a newly recognized class of antiferromagnets whose magnetic structure behaves very differently from what is ...

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...
