Lab X-ray Absorption: A New Dimension for Materials Characterization

X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) is a powerful and versatile technique that fits into the larger landscape of material characterization techniques by providing unique, element-specific insights into the local atomic structure, electronic properties, and bonding interactions of materials.

It complements and enhances the information obtained from other characterization methods, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of materials.

In this session, we will discuss the utility of XAS and how newly developed lab-scale instrumentation enables its practical use as an everyday tool for materials characterization. Come see real world applications of laboratory XAS.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Introduction to X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and its unique capabilities for materials characterization.

• Detailed look into example applications of laboratory XAS.

• Overview of new lab-scale XAS instrumentation.

• Understanding the process of conducting a laboratory XAS measurement, including a real-time measurement demonstration.

Who Should Attend:

• Research Scientists from Universities or Industries that routinely perform materials characterization.

• Materials Characterization Lab Managers and Users interested in understanding new techniques.

• Those interested in element-specific, non-destructive material analysis.
