The TPS 19A beamline signifies a substantial leap forward in powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), providing outstanding capabilities for both static structure determination and studies in structural kinetics across a broad spectrum of crystalline samples, including micro and nano materials, even under non-ambient conditions. Outfitted with state-of-the-art instrumentation such as the cryogenic...
The energy range between 1.5 and 4.5 keV (tender X-rays) covers the K-edges of Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K and Ca, the L-edges of 4d transition metals and the M-edges of actinides. 4d transition metals and actinides can also be measured in the hard x-ray range but the smaller lifetime broadening and favorable selection rules to probe the valence orbitals directly make the tender X-ray range...
PAINEIRA beamline at the SIRIUS synchrotron laboratory in Brazil is a facility dedicated to the X-ray diffraction characterization of polycrystalline materials. In addition to the high photon flux, it presents an arc-shaped 2D detector covering 109° in 2theta (in-house development). These provide high-quality and fast acquisition of the XRD pattern at the beamline, which is suitable for...
We propose a novel 6D X-ray wide-angle diffraction (WAXD) tensor tomography method which only requires a conventional 3D scanning tomography acquisition protocol. The new method can increase the acquisition efficiency of the 6D WAXD tensor tomography by at least one order of magnitude by fully exploring the hidden 3D reciprocal information in the 2D WAXD pattern.

The nano-diffraction instrument was the first nanoprobe endstation of the NanoMAX beamline at MAX IV and has been in user operation since 2017 [1]. It is based on a diffraction-limited KB mirror system with a long working distance of 100 mm and delivers a highly coherent nano-focused beam down to 40-200 nm, depending on the photon energy [2,3]. The alignment of the KB mirrors is routinely...
NanoTerasu BL02U is an ultrahigh energy resolution resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering (RIXS) beamline. Construction of the beamline started in January 2023 and was completed by September 2023. Construction of the RIXS spectrometer began in October 2023 and was completed by February 2024. Commissioning will start from April 2024 and be open for users from 2025. This beamline is dedicated...
Photon-counting two-dimensional (2D) detectors have been widely employed in X-ray diffraction experiments at many synchrotron facilities, contributing to improved signal-to-noise ratio and experimental efficiency. Recently, there has been a growing interest in in-situ and operando measurements, taking advantage of high-intensity synchrotron X-rays to observe transient phenomena. For instance,...
