A new imaging method visualizing differences of d-values in the same sample has been applied to the bulk steel materials. Some crystal grains are visible, and the strains caused by the Vickers mark are also quantitatively visualized.

It is a challenge to distinguish the effect of shape fluctuations and size polydispersity on experimental SAXS scattering curves of SUVs. Here it is shown that both effects have distinguishable spectral patterns, and an efficient simulation tool is presented for simulating and analysing experimental data. The importance of curvature-induced electron-density profile asymmetry for estimating the vesicle size from SAXS scattering curves is also demonstrated.

This work introduces a new approach aiming to improve the current state-of-the-art in prior austenite phase reconstruction in steels.

This work presents an open-source Python-based module for calculating the chord distribution function from the small-angle X-ray scattering pattern of polymer materials with fiber symmetry.

The effects of crystal orientation and detector distance on the ability to resolve pseudosymmetry using new intensity-based indexing methods of electron backscatter diffraction are studied. These results quantitatively demonstrate that certain orientations are significantly easier to correctly index and illustrate the clear benefit of shorter detector distances.

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) of mixtures of hydrogenous and deuterated n-tetradecane, a typical linear n-alkane, can be used to determine the molecular structure of the molecules, in the same way as mixtures of isotopically labeled polymers.

This article reports the first in situ diffraction result collected under applied electric field on a hybrid improper ferroelectric which shows a subtle yet robust preference for a switching mechanism that proceeds via an unwinding of the octahedral rotation mode.

Measurements and methods of mitigation for small-angle neutron scattering instrument background caused by extraneous scattering from surfaces are presented.

An algorithm for automated identification and removal of spurious data from Bragg coherent diffraction imaging data is presented. This algorithm provides a drastic improvement in the efficiency of data processing by replacing the slow process of manually identifying and deleting spurious data.

MATSAS analyses X-ray and neutron small-angle scattering data obtained from porous systems. MATSAS delivers a full suite of pore characterizations, including specific surface area, porosity, pore size distribution and fractal dimensions.

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction data of Fe powder have been shown to have a super-Lorentzian peak shape with anisotropic peak broadening. Detailed microstructural (unimodal and bimodal) analyses were carried out using the Rietveld method, modified Williamson–Hall plot and whole powder pattern modelling to investigate these features of the diffraction pattern. It is shown that the bimodal analysis approach gives improved profile fitting, with two components of the microstructure having different dislocation densities and a broad lognormal crystalline domain size distribution.

DATAD, a Python-based X-ray diffraction simulation code, has been developed for simulating one- and two-dimensional diffraction patterns of a polycrystalline specimen with an arbitrary texture under an arbitrary deformation state and an arbitrary detection geometry

A spin-contrast-variation neutron powder diffractometry technique is developed, where the coherent scattering length of hydrogen is controlled by proton polarization. This technique extracts the hydrogen structure factor, i.e. the contribution of hydrogen atoms to a crystal's structure factor.

Structural and compositional information about Escherichia coli cells is summarized and translated into an analytical multi-length-scale scattering form factor model of live bacterial suspensions.
