ID16B: 2D to 4D nano-analysis beamline
Julie Villanova, ESRF scientist in charge of ID16B

ABSTRACT

Beamline ID16B is dedicated to hard X-ray nano-analysis. It offers a versatile combination of techniques: X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL & TR-XEOL), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and 3D/4D X-ray nano-imaging (nano-CT) techniques.

The different techniques can be used separately or simultaneously to have a 2D and/or 3D multi-modal approach to analyze, among others, nanostructures, trace element distributions, phase behavior, microstructures and functional properties in a non-destructive manner. Thanks to a wide energy range from 6 to 33 keV while routinely offering beamsizes down to 50 nm, the instrument enables studies across a wide range of scientific disciplines from earth and environmental science to life science and materials science.

The experimental set-up can accommodate sample environments (furnace, cryostat, electrochemical cells…) providing unique in situ and operando nano-analysis capabilities.

In this webinar, I will give an overview of the available techniques and instrumentation, and illustrate each one with a scientific example reflecting typical use cases in different scientific fields.
