Synchrotron X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure and Fundamental X-Ray Interactions for Nano-Physics, Chemistry and Mineralogy

Grant number: DP110101896 | Funding period: 2011 - 2016

Completed

Abstract

This project will develop new synchrotron techniques for measuring and interpreting X-ray data from materials targeting the nano-environment and bonding. The first wave of synchrotron nanotechnology is nascent. The project's X-ray methods develop techniques in applied mineralogy and catalysis. New insight will address key questions in chemistry, mining and biology.
