Synchrotron X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure And Fundamental X-Ray Interactions For Nano-Physics, Chemistry And Mineralogy

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.
