In our (dramatically understaffed) X-ray scattering laboratory, developing a systematic, holistic methodology let us provide scattering and diffraction information for more than 2100 samples for 200+ projects led by 120+ collaborators. Combined with automated data correction pipelines, and our analysis and simulation software, this led to more than 40 papers in the last 5 years with just over 2 full-time staff members.
This year, our new, modular synthesis platform has made more than 1000 additional samples for us to analyse and catalogue. By virtue of the automation, the synthesis of these samples is automatically documented in excruciating detail, preparing them for upload and exploitation in large-scale materials databases.
This talk is intended to spark ideas and invite collaborations by providing an overview of: 1) the current improvements in our wide-range X-ray scattering laboratory methodology, and 2) introducing our open, modular robotic platform for systematic sample preparation.
This talk for the Swiss Society for Crystallography (SSCr) workshop on SAXS will introduce scattering from various angles, focusing in particular on:
- Information content of X-ray scattering experiments, three entry points…
- An introduction to Fourier Transforms
- Sample criteria, compatibility, and selection
- Key indicators of a measurement – where is the information?
- Key indicators of measurement quality
- Experiment planning, the basics
The second talk for the Swiss Society for Crystallography (SSCr) workshop on SAXS will highlight the data processing challenges, holistic experimental workflow developments, and the pitfalls. In particular, the following items will be addressed:
- The importance of data processing and estimating uncertainty
- A universal correction pipeline – away with the headaches, at least for this step!
- Experiment planning part 2, some tips and advice to improve your corrected data.
- Sample preparation, background selection, some tips and advice to improve your corrected data.
- Automate for your mental well-being; electronic logbooks, measurement catalogs and workflow management software
- Life on the edge: several pitfalls to avoid…
McSAS3 is a refactored software package for fitting large batches of (X-ray or Neutron) scattering data. It uses a Monte-Carlo acceptance-rejection algorithm to optimize model parameters - ideal for analysis of size-disperse scatterers.
The refactored code can exploit multiprocessing, traceably stores (multiple) results in the output file, and allows for re-histogramming of previous optimizations. Besides analysis of large batches, it can also be integrated in automated data processing pipelines.
The live demonstration will show how to use the software, what its limitations are, and what outcomes can look like for batches of results.
