DXC 2007: The World's Leading Forum for X-Ray Materials Analysis
Spectroscopy previews the 56th Annual Denver X-Ray Conference, which will be held from July 30 to August 3 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The 56th Annual Denver X-Ray Conference on Applications of X-Ray Analysis (DXC), sponsored by the International Center for Diffraction Data (ICDD), will be held from July 30 to August 3 at the Sheraton Colorado Springs in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The Denver X-Ray Conference is the world's leading forum for scientists in the field of X-ray materials analysis. The conference provides sessions on training, education, and applications that will appeal to both newcomers in the field and those with many years of experience. Another exciting part of the conference is the presence of leading manufacturers of X-ray equipment, who will be exhibiting their latest devices and answering technical questions.
Workshops
Workshops begin Monday morning, July 30 and continue through Tuesday afternoon, July 31 on the topics of XRD, XRF, and XRD & XRFcombined. These workshops include X-ray Optics, Diffraction Peak Broadening and Peak Shape Analysis, Fundamentals and Applications of Neutron Scattering for Characterizing Structural Materials and Components, Small Angle Scattering, Rietveld Applications I, Rietveld Applications II, X-ray Crystallography without Crystals, Two-dimensional XRD, XRF Sample Preparation I, XRF Sample Preparation II, Trace Analysis, Quantitative Analysis I, Quantitative Analysis II, Basic XRF, Energy Dispersive XRF, and Analysis of RoHS/WEEE Elements—Consultants, Profs, and Testing Labs Take Notice!

Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
Researchers Develop Adaptive Gap-Tunable SERS Device
April 24th 2024In a new study, researchers from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology and Pohang University of Science and Technology presented a new surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) device, improving gap plasmon resonance.
