GALAXI: Gallium anode low-angle x-ray instrument

Modelling muscle motor conformations using low-angle X-ray diffraction.

New results on myosin head organization using analysis of low-angle X-ray diffraction patterns from relaxed insect flight muscle (IFM) from a giant waterbug, building on previous studies of myosin filaments in bony fish skeletal muscle (BFM), show that the information content of such low-angle diffraction patterns is very high despite the 'crystallographically low' resolution limit (65 A) of th...

Study of gallium arsenide on silicon by small angle X-ray scattering

In order to study the heteroepitaxial growth of gallium arsenide on silicon(100), Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) experiments have been performed at the synchrotron radiation facility Photon Factory at KEK. The samples studied have been grown by both Atomic Layer Epitaxy and Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition. The two dimensional SAXS patterns present different features depending on th...

High-pressure instrument for small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering. II. Time-resolved experiments

An instrument to facilitate smalland wide-angle x-ray scattering measurements of samples under elevated hydrostatic pressures or exposed to pressure jumps is described. Pressure from atmospheric up to 0.35 GPa is produced by a motor-driven, piston-type generator and transferred through a network containing pressurizing liquid to a sample cell. The cell, with the optical path length of 1.6 mm, h...
