X-ray spectroscopy is an important tool for scientific analysis. While the earliest
demonstration experiments were realised in the laboratory, with the advent of synchrotron …

Hybrid photon counting (HPC) detectors have radically transformed basic research at
synchrotron light sources since 2006. They excel at X-ray diffraction applications in the …

X-ray spectroscopy has had a significant and continually growing impact on catalysis
research for nearly 50 years. In particular, the ability to obtain element selective electronic …

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) produces a wealth of information about the local
structure of materials, but interpretation of spectra often relies on easily accessible trends …

X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) are advanced
x-ray spectroscopies that impact a wide range of disciplines. However, unlike the majority of …

Inverse Compton scattering provides means to generate low-divergence partially coherent
quasi-monochromatic, ie synchrotron-like, X-ray radiation on a laboratory scale. This …

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) represent the ultimate size limit of nanoscale catalysts,
combining the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. SACs have …

Laboratory‐based X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and especially X‐ray absorption
near‐edge structure (XANES) offers new opportunities in catalyst characterization and …

X-ray spectroscopy studies are usually performed using synchrotron radiation sources,
which offer bright, coherent, energy-tuneable and monochromatic light. However, the …

We present a low-cost laboratory X-ray absorption spectrometer that uses a conventional X-
ray tube source and bent Johann-type crystal monochromators. The instrument is designed …
