Anomalous Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (ASAXS) has long been recognized for its unparalleled ability to provide precise element-specific structural insights from disordered or short-range ordered materials, covering length scales ranging from a few nanometers to hundreds of nanometers. Diverging from techniques such as TEM/STEM with EDX mapping, ASAXS boasts a distinct advantage by statistically averaging elemental structural information over bulk, enabling in-operando (in-situ) data acquisition from embedded systems. Despite its formidable potential as a structural probe, this cutting-edge technique has historically been the exclusive domain of a select group of expert researchers worldwide.
Our recent bold initiatives at the ASWAXS facility within NSF's ChemMatCARS (https://lnkd.in/gNWtpjtR), Sector 15, Advanced Photon Source, USA, have democratically broadened access to this transformative technique, making it available to researchers without prior expertise. The tangible fruits of our endeavors are coming to fruition through recent groundbreaking publications in ACS Nano and AngewChem, as highlighted below. For those eager to harness the power of anomalous scattering for their research, feel free to reach out to me without hesitation.
