PETRA IV Workshop: “Imaging of Surfaces, Interfaces and Nano-objects: local structure, defects and composition”

9 Oct 2017, 12:00 → 11 Oct 2017, 14:00 Europe/Berlin

FLASH Seminar Room (DESY Hamburg)

With its expected ultrahigh brilliance, PETRA IV will put forward the routine preparation of nanofocussed x-ray beams with diameters down to 10 nm. This unique property allows addressing local structural and chemical properties with nm resolution of surfaces, interfaces and nanostructures. At the same time, full field imaging techniques will profit from the increased coherence of the x-ray beam. Both open up unique possibilities for the investigation of materials with inherent heterogeneous interfaces from the micro to the nanoscale such as heterogeneous catalysts or surfaces of polycrystalline materials. The goal of this workshop is to highlight emerging PETRA IV opportunities for nanofocus x-ray experiments under operando conditions by bringing traditionally spatially averaging x-ray techniques down to the nanometer level, including a correlation with complementary microscopy techniques.
