What is SAXS – Small Angle X-ray Scattering used for?

The "What is it for?" seminars offered by the various technology and service platforms of the Chemistry Research Cluster aim to help you discover or deepen your knowledge of the technical capabilities of the analysis and characterization equipment available to you.

The seminar "What is SAXS used for?" aims to introduce you to small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS).

X-ray diffraction is widely recognized as the gold standard technique for studying crystal structures. But beyond this particular form of solid matter, the interference between X-rays and matter can provide scientists with structural information on many other forms of condensed matter, from complex liquids to colloids, through the amorphous states of gels and solids, to biological objects. Come and discover small-angle X-ray scattering, or SAXS, and the possibilities offered by the new equipment installed at the UAR.

Speakers: Prof.Julien Cambedouzou (IEM) and Dr. Arie van der Lee (IEM)

About the speakers:

• Professor Julien Cambedouzou is a professor at ENSCM. He teaches master's level courses on the fundamentals of radiation-matter interaction and X-ray and neutron scattering. Co-director of the DM3 department atIEM, he has been studying the structure of porous materials at the nanoscale using scattering techniques for 20 years.

• Arie van der Lee is a senior research engineer at the CNRS. Responsible for diffraction and scattering equipment atIEM almost 30 years, he is currently working more specifically on the structure of thin films using grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GI-SAXS). He is president of the European Association for Crystallography and a member of the steering committee of the ЯECIPROCS network.

For the launch of this fourth seminar, a short and friendly format awaits you.
