Optimizing Sample Preparation for High Quality X-ray Absorption

DATE

December 12, 2024

TIME

8:00 a.m. PST, 11:00 a.m. EST, 16:00 GMT, 17:00 CET - Duration: 60 Minutes

Overview

X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) offers wide ranging chemical sensitivity across the periodic table. As a bulk sensitive method, XAS has found extensive use in battery, catalyst, and environmental applications. Versatile transmission and fluorescence measurement modes on laboratory spectrometers enable determination of oxidation state, local structure, and more.

Optimizing sample preparation is a key part of achieving high quality XAS results. In this session, we highlight the capabilities of laboratory XAS for pellets, capillaries, thin films, and more. Come learn more on the step-by-step process involved in XAS from sample preparation to local structure analysis.

Key Learning Objectives:

Introduction to X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and its unique capabilities across sample types.
Steps involved in sample optimization for X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy.
Understand the Laboratory XAS capabilities across sample types and elemental concentrations.

Who Should Attend:

Research Scientists from Universities or Industries that routinely perform materials characterization.
Materials Characterization Lab Managers and Users interested in understanding new techniques.
Those interested in element-specific, non-destructive material analysis.
