Small-angle scattering (SAS) is a technique that is able to probe the structural organization
of matter and quantify its response to changes in external conditions. X-ray and neutron …

Material properties frequently relate to structures at or near surfaces, particularly in thin films.
As a result, it is essential to understand these structures at the molecular and atomistic …

We present results from measurements of the native oxide film thickness on four different
industrial aluminum alloys and three different aluminum single crystals. The thicknesses …

In this paper, we show how the composition of bimetallic Fe–Ni exsolution can be controlled
by the nature and concentration of oxygen vacancies in the parental matrix and how this is …

Polymer film capacitors are ubiquitous in modern electronics and electric systems, but the
relatively low working temperatures of polymer dielectrics limit their application in next …

The resonant scattering and diffraction beamline P09 at PETRA III is designed for X-ray
experiments requiring small beams, energy tunability, variable polarization and high photon …

Following the reaction of biological membranes to external stimuli reveals fundamental
insights into cellular function. Here, self-assembled lipid monolayers act as model …

Traditionally, the Coulomb repulsion or Peierls instability causes the metal-insulator phase
transitions in strongly correlated quantum materials. In comparison, magnetic stress is …

High-resolution x-ray diffraction and scattering is a key tool for structure analysis not only in
bulk materials but also at surfaces and buried interfaces from the sub-nanometer range to …

The dissimilarities and features of the crystal structure of ZnAl LDH-NO 3 conversion layers
grown directly on pure zinc and aluminum alloy 2024 were investigated in the present …
