Courses
EPFL MOOC
A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) from the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne), covering introductory aspects of synchrotron and XFEL radiation is being offered:
The course begins 5th March 2018 and lasts for nine weeks. The course is aimed at a broad audience and includes the following themes:
- Interaction of x-rays with matter;
- The production and physics of synchrotron and XFEL radiation;
- X-ray optics, beamlines, and instrumentation;
- X-ray diffraction and scattering;
- UV and x-ray spectroscopies;
- X -ray imaging (mainly tomography and lensless imaging/ptychography);
- Extra week on phasing techniques in macromolecular crystallography.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the sample/substrate requirements for GISAXS?
- How long does it take to measure a sample?
- What do I do with my data?
- What software is available for analysis?
- Why does sample orientation matter?
- What's that missing wedge (near qz axis) in my processed data?
- GISAXS is complicated. Why not just do microscopy?
Data Analysis
- Scattering models
- Polymer clustering or gel mesh size from SANS
- Orientation analysis (using P3HT as an example)
- Particle spacing from peak position
Scaling Analysis
- Porod plot ()
- Fresnel plot ()
- Kratky plot ()
- Debye scaling ()
- Rod-like scaling ()
- Guinier plot ()
- Zimm plot
Experimental Help
Miscellaneous Questions
- What's the difference between scattering and diffraction? SAXS and WAXS?
- Why are there oscillations below the critical angle in my reflectivity curve?
