Interferometer‐controlled scanning transmission X‐ray microscopes at the Advanced Light Source
A. L. D. Kilcoyne,Tolek Tyliszczak,Tolek Tyliszczak,W. F. Steele,Sirine C. Fakra,P. Hitchcock,P. Hitchcock,K. Franck,Erik H. Anderson,Bruce Harteneck,Ed G. Rightor,G. E. Mitchell,Adam P. Hitchcock,L. Yang,Tony Warwick,Harald Ade +15 more
TL;DR: Two new soft X-ray scanning transmission microscopes located at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) have been designed, built and commissioned and interferometer control implemented in both microscopes allows the precise measurement of the transverse position of the zone plate relative to the sample.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of Catalyst Restructuring on the Selective Hydrogenation of Acetylene to Ethylene
Yaming Jin,Abhaya K. Datye,Ed G. Rightor,Robert J. Gulotty,Wendy Waterman,Michael G. Smith,Michael T. Holbrook,Joe Maj,J Blackson +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of oxidative restructuring on the selectivity for acetylene hydrogenation to ethylene was studied under conditions of industrial significance (acetylene conversion > 99%) under the assumption that the Pd-only catalyst had no influence on hydrogenation selectivity; neither was any correlation found between selectivity and extent of β-Pd hydride formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of Pd–Ag catalyst restructuring on the activation energy for ethylene hydrogenation in ethylene–acetylene mixtures
Hugo Zea,Kelvin Lester,Abhaya K. Datye,Ed G. Rightor,Robert J. Gulotty,Wendy Waterman,Michael G. Smith +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the presence of co-adsorbed CO and changes in the surface structure of Pd-Ag surfaces together with high temperature reduction have been shown to alter the reaction behavior of an industrially significant selective hydrogenation reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
NEXAFS spectromicroscopy of polymers: overview and quantitative analysis of polyurethane polymers
Stephen G. Urquhart,Adam P. Hitchcock,A. P. Smith,Harald Ade,Lidy Werner A,Ed G. Rightor,G. E. Mitchell +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed application of X-ray spectromicroscopy to chemical analysis of polymers is reviewed and a detailed approach for quantitative analysis for polyurethanes is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A scanning transmission x-ray microscope for materials science spectromicroscopy at the advanced light source
T. Warwick,K. Franck,Jeffrey B. Kortright,G. Meigs,M. Moronne,Satish Chandra Babu Myneni,Eli Rotenberg,S. Seal,W. F. Steele,Harald Ade,Adrián Luis García García,S. Cerasari,Jonathan D. Denlinger,Shinjiro Hayakawa,Adam P. Hitchcock,Tolek Tyliszczak,J. Kikuma,Ed G. Rightor,Hyun-Joon Shin,Brian P. Tonner +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the design and performance of a scanning transmission x-ray microscope (STXM) at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) is described, making use of a high brightness undulator beamline and extending the STXM technique to new areas of research.
