Research Interests and achievement
Updated on September 3, 2006
Phase is a relative physical quantity, which plays a very important role in many branches of physics. In the case of X-rays, the so-called ¡§X-ray phase problem¡¨ is a key issue in structure determination for single-crystals, thin films, interfaces, low-dimensional systems, even for non-periodic materials. Since X-ray multiple diffraction can provide the phase information via intensity measurements, we are interested in developing new diffraction/scattering/spectroscopy methods to measure phases, leading to direct mapping of structures of matter. Up to now, we have developed a quantitative phase determination method for macromolecular crystals, multi-beam grazing-incidence diffraction technique for in-plane reflections from crystals and thin films, element-specific resonant multiple diffraction method for thin films and interfaces. Very recently, by combining X-ray absorption and multiple diffraction we have developed a new method, MDAFS (Multi-beam Diffraction Anomalus Fine Structure), which is much more atomic site and wavevector sensitive than the usual DAFS and EXAFS.
X-ray optics is also the interest of our laboratory. Very recently, we have successfully observed cavity resonance fringes from a micrometer sized crystal cavity, which acts as a Fabry-Perot resonator. We now continue working on designing new nano-scale X-ray optical devices for high-resolution advanced X-ray scattering/imaging/microscopy experiments.
