Biological Facility Collaborations with the ALS
In collaboration with the Advanced Light Source, the Facility has developed techniques for characterizing soft material structures. These capabilities include SAXS, XRD, X-ray microsecond footprinting, and X-ray crystallography. Use of this capability must be indicated by choosing the ALS as a support facility during submission of the Foundry User proposal.
Inorganic Facility Collaboration with the ALS: Time-Resolved Multimodal Characterization of Material Synthesis
Contact: Carolin Sutter-Fella
This capability comprises a spin coater end station operated in the hutch of beamline 12.3.2. Solution synthesis of materials grown on substrates (e.g. inorganic, organic, or hybrid thin films) can be characterized by in situ diffraction and photoluminescence. Measurements can be performed during spin coating and heating in inert gas. A secondary solvent (antisolvent) can be dispersed via remote control during synthesis. The maximum substrate temperature is 300 C.
ALS Approved Program for Crystallography
Contact: Jian Zhang
This approved program provides Foundry users with regular access to ALS chemical crystallography beamline 12.2.1 for single crystal determination of weakly diffracting samples.
