Recent advances in nano-scale spatial resolution x-ray microscopy instrumentation at NSLS-II

X-ray microscopy is an invaluable and powerful characterization tool applied in many scientific fields, such as materials science, biology, environmental science, and energy research. In recent years it has been driven by rapid developments of novel technologies and systems resulting in imaging experiments elucidating structural inhomogeneities and chemical reactions at the nanometer scale. To obtain high spatial resolution comprehensive chemical and structural information, an X-ray microscope must be equipped with adequate capabilities and allow for simultaneous acquisition of multiple datasets. In recent years, a number of X-ray microscopes have been designed, constructed, and commissioned at NSLS-II. Here we provide an overview of the microscopy instrumentation development program at NSLS-II and specifically focus on the multilayer Laue lens-based hard X-ray nanoprobe optimized for ~10 nm spatial resolution imaging, its current status, and future upgrades along with recently constructed Kirkpatrick-Baez based scanning microscope designed for ~100 nm spatial resolution experiments.

Method for nano powder loading into micro-capillary mold

A method loading powder into a mold can include immersing the mold comprising one or more microchannels into a suspension comprising the powder and a surfactant suspended in a dispersant, wherein the powder comprises particles having an average particle size of less than 100 μm, wherein the mold is substantially entirely covered by the suspension; heating the suspension having the mold immersed therein under a temperature condition suitable to lower the stability of the particles of the powder in the suspension such that the particles settle out of solution and into the one or more microchannels; and applying an ultrasonic wave to the heated suspension to further settle the particles of the powder into the one or more microchannels thereby filling the one or more microchannels of the mold with the powder.

Rational nano-coulomb ionization

An ion pulse generator includes a triboelectric generator, an ion emitter and a conductive surface. The triboelectric generator includes a first electrode, a spaced apart second electrode and a first triboelectric layer. The triboelectric generator generates a predetermined amount of charge as a result of relative movement of the first triboelectric layer. The ion emitter is electrically coupled to the first electrode. The conductive surface is electrically coupled to the second electrode and is spaced apart from the ion emitter at a predetermined distance. Generation of the predetermined amount of charge causes formation of ions between the ion emitter and the conductive surface.
