Review of Current Software for Analyzing Total X-ray Scattering Data from Liquids

  • Leighanne C. Gallington,
  • Stephen K. Wilke,
  • Shinji Kohara and
  • Chris J. Benmore

The popularity of the pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of X-ray total scattering data has steadily grown as access to ex situ synchrotron data has expanded. Due to the broadening of the PDF user community, there is a growing demand for softw...

Combining XRF, Multispectral Imaging and SEM/EDS to Characterize a Contemporary Painting

  • Jessica Brocchieri,
  • Elvira Scialla,
  • Antonio D’Onofrio and
  • Carlo Sabbarese

Diagnostic analyses on a contemporary painting on canvas were performed with X-ray fluorescence (XRF), multispectral imaging and scanning electron microscope/energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). The results of each method provided complementary...

Scanning Three-Dimensional X-ray Diffraction Microscopy with a Spiral Slit

  • Yujiro Hayashi,
  • Daigo Setoyama,
  • Kunio Fukuda,
  • Katsuharu Okuda,
  • Naoki Katayama and
  • Hidehiko Kimura

Recently, nondestructive evaluation of the stresses localized in grains was achieved for plastically deformed low-carbon steel using scanning three-dimensional X-ray diffraction (S3DXRD) microscopy with a conical slit. However, applicable metals and...

Investigating Brazilian Paintings from the 19th Century by MA-XRF

  • André Pimenta,
  • Valter Felix,
  • Matheus Oliveira,
  • Miguel Andrade,
  • Marcelo Oliveira and
  • Renato Freitas

In this work, four artworks dating from the 19th century by Brazilian painters Firmino Monteiro, Henrique Bernardelli, and Eliseu Visconti were analyzed by MA-XRF. Pb-L, Fe-K, and Hg-L were the main elemental maps obtained in all paintings. In the ar...
