Development of Measurement Tools for High-Throughput Experiments of Synchrotron Radiation XRD and XAFS on Powder Libraries

Abstract

We propose to minimize the sampling time for high-throughput measurements of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) in synchrotron radiation. The conventional synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction method requires filling of a capillary tube, but a structure-refining diffraction pattern could be obtained by transferring the crushed powder to a tape and rotating the cassette-tape tool by ±5°around the sample position. XAFS spectra could also be measured with the sample attached to the tape. The time required for sample preparation was greatly reduced, which made high-throughput experiments with powders in synchrotron radiation experiments more accessible.

High‐throughput experimental techniques for corrosion research: A review

“…High‐throughput characterization techniques have been used to investigate the physicochemical properties of materials, [47] ranging from basic physical properties [48] (e.g., composition and microstructure) to mechanical properties [49–51] (e.g., hardness and elastic modulus), functional performance [52–54] (e.g., optical, dielectric, and magnetic properties), and properties related to material degradation (e.g., corrosion and wear resistance). Many methods for the high‐throughput characterization of the physicochemical properties of materials have been developed based on optical measurements or X‐ray diffraction techniques [55–58] . Optical detection methods have the advantages of fast speed and simple operation and are suitable for the in situ study of metal corrosion, especially when combined with computer image processing technology.…”
