A Journey into Reciprocal Space
A Crystallographer's Perspective
Language: English
Release Date: November 16, 2017
The concept of reciprocal space is over 100 years old, and has been of particular use by crystallographers in order to understand the patterns of spots when x-rays are diffracted by crystals. However, it has a much more general use, especially in the physics of the solid state. In order to understand...
Helium Nano-bubble Formation in Tungsten
Measurement with Grazing-Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering
Language: English
Release Date: August 1, 2018
This PhD thesis characterises the damage that occurs in tungsten when it is exposed to a fusion-like environment. The book presents pioneering work on the use of grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) to measure nano-bubble formation in tungsten exposed to helium plasma. The phenomenon...
