X-ray Scattering

By Center for Functional Nanomaterials Brookhaven

The CFN is a partner user on two x-ray scattering beamlines at NSLS-II, through which the CFN operates advanced structural probes, of molecular and nanoscale order, and makes these capabilities available to the nanoscience user community. These beamlines provide complementary capabilities to explore complex parameter spaces (CMS beamline) and to perform frontier studies of nanomaterials (SMI beamline). The beamlines enable simultaneous small-angle and wide-angle (SAXS/WAXS) scattering experiments, including grazing-incidence (GISAXS/GIWAXS) measurements of thin films. Capabilities for microbeams, time-resolved measurements, and resonant scattering are also available.
