Abstract
Spectroptychography is being used to realize a significant improvement in the spatial resolution of x-ray spectromicroscopy, allowing chemical microanalysis at finer spatial scales. The chemical sensitivity of near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) is familiar to most researchers who use x-ray spectromicroscopy for chemical microanalysis. However, the additional phase information available through ptychography provides additional and tantalizing data, and potentially additional chemical information. This paper explores the chemical information available in phase for a system of silicon dioxide nanospheres.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
