Lunchtime Session:
Date: Wednesday 23 August
Sponsored by: DECTRIS
Title: DECTRIS PILATUS4 Product Launch
Time: 12.20 – 1.05pm
Room: 212/213 on Level 2
Speakers: Dr. Dubravka Sisak Jung, Dr. Clemens Schulze-Briese, Dr. Tilman Donath, Dr. Marcus Müller
Guest Speakers: Dr. Stefano Checchia (ESRF), Dr. Laura C. Folkers (STOE & Cie)
In this lunchtime symposium, we will present the key advantages and possibilities of our new, high-end hybrid-photon-counting detector PILATUS4 and how scientific research can benefit from it. We will also show data and results from customers, who have already tested the detector in the laboratory and the synchrotron.
Title: Electron Diffraction – Structure Elucidation of Nano-Crystalline Materials
Date: Wednesday 23rd August 2023
Time: 12.20pm – 1.05pm
Room: 217 on Level 2
Speakers name: Alessia Portieri
Electron diffraction (known also as ED, 3D ED or microED) performing nano-crystallography on crystals smaller than 1 µm is increasingly gaining momentum in science and industry. Complementary to neutron-, powder-, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, the disruptive technology of electron diffraction opens up fascinating new perspectives for a wide variety of compounds in the fields of chemical, pharmaceutical, and advanced materials research. The recent introduction of dedicated instrumentation to perform ED experiments is a key aspect of the continued growth and success of this technology. ELDICO Scientific presents the electron diffractometer ED-1, a smart combination of a 5-axis nanometer-precise goniometer, a large sample chamber, radically simplified electron optics, and an ultra-high-speed hybrid-pixel Dectris Quadro® camera for diffraction data acquisition. Several examples of data collected on ELDICO ED-1 are showcased to demonstrate the potential and advantages of a dedicated electron diffractometer, covering selected applications and challenges of electron diffraction: 1) polymorphism and absolute structure of pharmaceutical compounds, 2) crystal mapping and extrapolation to powder XRD, and 3) structure elucidation of energy storage materials.
