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

The "What's in it for me?" seminars organized by the Chemistry research cluster's various technology and service platforms are designed to enable you to discover or deepen your knowledge of the technical possibilities offered by the analysis and characterization equipment at your disposal.

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

X-ray diffraction is widely recognized as the benchmark technique for studying the structure of crystals. But beyond this particular form of solid matter, interference between X-rays and matter can provide scientists with structural information on many other forms of condensed matter, from complex liquids and colloids to the amorphous states of gels and solids, right through 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: Pr Julien CambedouzouIEM) and Dr Arie van der LeeIEM)

About the speakers :

• Pr Julien Cambedouzou is a professor at ENSCM. He teaches the basics of radiation-matter interaction and X-ray and neutron scattering at Master's level. Co-leader of theIEM's DM3 department, he has been studying the structure of porous materials on the nanometric scale using scattering techniques for the past 20 years.

• Arie van der Lee is an HDR research engineer at CNRS. He has been in charge of theIEM 's diffraction and scattering facilities for almost 30 years, and is currently working more specifically on the structure of thin films by incidence-rasing SAXS (GI-SAXS). He is president of the European Crystallography Association and a member of the steering committee of the ЯECIPROCS network.

For the launch of this 4th seminar, a short, friendly format awaits you.
