摘要:

在目前所有具有纳米分辨率的检测技术中,只有X射线显微镜允许对悬浮液中的纳米颗粒进行成像。它也可以用来研究结构动力学吗?当研究对机械刺激的反应时,挑战在于以与空间分辨率相当的精度应用它们。在X射线显微镜中进行的第一次剪切实验中,我们通过将压电致动器驱动的剪切单元插入到扫描透射X射线显微镜(STXM)的焦平面中来实现这一点。因此,剪切诱导重组的磁铁矿纳米颗粒聚集体可以证明在悬浮液中。随着X射线显微镜被证明适合于研究结构变化,在小尺度的物理学中开辟了新的前景。

英文摘要:

Of all current detection techniques with nanometer resolution, only X-ray microscopy allows imaging nanoparticles in suspension. Can it also be used to investigate structural dynamics? When studying response to mechanical stimuli, the challenge lies in applying them with precision comparable to spatial resolution. In the first shear experiments performed in an X-ray microscope, we accomplished this by inserting a piezo actuator driven shear cell into the focal plane of a scanning transmission X-ray microscope (STXM). Thus shear-induced reorganization of magnetite nanoparticle aggregates could be demonstrated in suspension. As X-ray microscopy proves suitable for studying structural change, new prospects open up in physics at small length scales.
