Laboratory X-ray techniques for materials development and process control

Advanced materials are increasingly enablers for high-tech products. The improved understanding of structure-property relationships of these materials is essential for their applications in many branches. Materials characterization provides the needed information about atomic structure, chemical binding and the 3D microstructure of advanced materials.

Within this context, high-resolution X-ray techniques are playing an important role for the development and introduction of new technologies as well as for the integration of advanced materials into high-tech products, and particularly for process control and for quality assessment. One unique advantage of the X-ray techniques is that they deliver – generally integral – data for bulk materials and thin films nondestructively.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
