Abstract Scope |
The mission of the High Energy Engineering X-ray Scattering (HEX) beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) is to help advance clean energy technologies and creative energy storage solutions. This facility will provide world-leading x-ray imaging capabilities to support engineering materials development in NY State and beyond.
HEX will operate in the 30-250 keV energy range and will be capable of delivering monochromatic and white beam. Samples to be studied include fully assembled and functioning batteries, photovoltaic materials, fuel cells, and engineering materials under extreme conditions.
The scientific techniques will consist of imaging and diffraction. Imaging includes fast radiography and tomography in attenuation and phase contrast mode. Diffraction can be monochromatic powder-methods on area detectors or white light energy-dispersive methods to separate small sample volumes from surrounding substances. |
