With the development of pulsed spallation sources of neutrons in recent years has come the
possibility to generate intense beams of higher energy than possible at reactor sources. This …

Self-assembled polynuclear lanthanide hydroxo complexes are important objects in the
reticular chemistry approach to the design of various functional materials. Revealing their …

Over the last decade, some studies with laboratory pair distribution function (PDF) data
emerged. Yet, limited Q max or instrumental resolution impeded in-depth structural …

The structure of mesoporous magnesium carbonate (MMC) first presented in 2013 is
investigated using a bottom-up approach. MMC is found to be built from the aggregation of …

A novel symmetry-adapted pair distribution function analysis (SAPA) method for extracting
information on local distortions from pair distribution function data is introduced. The …

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is a well-established, versatile technique for the
analysis of nanoscale structures and dimensions, eg, in liquid dispersions, thin solid objects …

A compact laboratory X-ray scattering platform that uniquely enables for high-performance
ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS), small-and wide-angle X-ray scattering …

Measurement of laboratory atomic pair distribution function data has improved with
contemporary X-ray sources, optics and detectors, with acquisition times of the order of …

Spinel gahnite (ZnAl2O4) has been obtained through a hydrothermal synthesis method with
a grain size of about 2 nm. The sample was calcined for a few hours at two different …
