TY - CONF A1 - de Oliveira Guilherme Buzanich, Ana T1 - Bridging Structure and Electronic State: Real-time XES–XRD Fusion for Functional Alloys N2 - We present a unified X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) approach for real-time, in situ characterization of materials, demonstrated on Co₂FeSi Heusler alloys under varied heat treatments. The combination of XES and XRD is particularly well-suited to Heusler alloys, where subtle changes in atomic ordering and electronic structure (e.g. site occupancy, hybridization, and spin state) are tightly interdependent and critical for their magnetic and transport properties. In addition, this method enables more efficient materials design by reducing experimental iterations through comprehensive structural and electronic analysis. Developed at the mySpot beamline at BESSY-II, the platform integrates (a) digital twin-based experiment planning, (b) open-source XES spectral simulations, (c) an optimized single-shot, two-element XES setup with sub-pixel resolution for enhanced energy precision, and (d) result-driven beamtime utilization. With an unprecedented synchronized XES-XRD platform, we aim to shed light on how diffusion-controlled processes in Heusler alloys and double perovskites at elevated temperatures establish the formation of specific phases with distinct structure types in real time. This, in turn, strongly impacts the functional properties of the materials under scrutiny.

We present a combined X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) approach implemented in a double-dispersive setup. This configuration enables simultaneous acquisition of structural and spectroscopic information with high precision, allowing us to resolve correlations between lattice arrangements and electronic configurations under in situ conditions. To enhance experimental throughput and reproducibility, we employ digital twin concepts and optimization algorithms for experiment design and parameter control. These methods effectively eliminate trial-and-error procedures when optimizing the setup to achieve the desired resolution for XES analysis. In addition, we introduce SpecTwin, a dedicated software environment that integrates XES data analysis, simulation, and optimization routines. This combined methodology underscores the potential of algorithm-assisted multimodal X-ray experiments to advance the quantitative understanding of structure–property relationships in complex materials.
