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

In the field of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) method has developed into a robust tool for the crystallographic analysis of materials. Specifically, ...

The (relatively) ancient art of crystallography has had a huge impact on modern science by showing us the location of atoms within a molecule. The structure of DNA (and how it acts as an information ...

When a laser beam is incident on many small objects such as lycopodium powder, the resulting diffraction pattern is similar to the diffraction pattern of a small circular aperture (Airy's disk pattern ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to evaluate crystalline materials and determine their structural properties. As one of the most widely used ...

Particle size analysis is crucial to quality control and product development in a number of key industries including aerosols, construction, food and beverage, paint and coatings, and pharmaceuticals.
