Altermagnets are a newly recognized class of antiferromagnets whose magnetic structure behaves very differently from what is ...

High-energy X-ray diffraction patterns from a single grain of i-Gd-Cd were taken at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory with the beam parallel to the five-fold axis.

A U.K.-Portuguese research group is proposing a new solar cell design based on diffraction gratings – optical components that split and diffract light into several beams. They claim this could lead to ...

Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...

What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...

Definition: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. By measuring the angles and intensities of diffracted beams ...
