Synchrotron Science & Techniques

My first exposure to synchrotron science started with small & wide-angle X-ray scattering, SAXS & WAXS at Melbourne. I frequented @ausynchrotron. When I started PhD in NZ, I still visited Australian Synchrotron to do XPS

Imaging these ultrasmall cluster using conventional HRTEM proved to be unsuccessful because the size is <1.5 nm. So, XPS is a good alternative because the BE shift ~ relative size
