Real-time GIWAXS/GISAXS studies reveal details of the formation and post processing processes of active layers of bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells. In three recent publications deep insights into thin film structure formation is presented and the impact of GIWAXS and GISAXS methodologies for ...

As part of the lecture series "Moderne Physik am Samstagmorgen (Erlangen)" Prof. Reinhard Neder gave a lecture on January 25, 2020, entitled "Nanopartikel - Zwerge mit spannenden Eigenschaften". In his lecture Prof. Neder presented the latest research results in the field of nanophysics - this in...

In this workshop you will learn to interpret diffuse scattering and to simulate disordered crystal structures. Defects are quite common in crystals and are responsible for a number of properties like ionic conductivity, electronic properties of indirect semiconductors etc. In diffraction, defects ma...

How can nanoparticles or thin films be characterized using scattering methods? These and other questions were answered in the 5th CENEM Summer School for X-ray Scattering which took place from 29th July to 1st August 2019 at the Institute for Crystallography and Structural Physics (ICSP) in Erlan...

A worldwide unique instrument (SAXS/SANS), developed and built at ICSP, allows simultaneous small angle scattering experiments with neutrons and X-rays at the Institut Laue-Languevin (ILL) in Grenoble (France). Prof. Dr. Tobias Unruh explains in an interview with "Welt der Physik" the application fi...
