Revealing low-dose radiation damage using single-crystal spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The structural information and functional insight obtained from X-ray crystallography can be enhanced by the use of complementary spectroscopies. Here the information that can be obtained from spectroscopic methods commonly used in conjunction with X-ray crystallography and best-practice single-crystal UV-Vis absorption data collection are briefly reviewed. Using data collected with the in situ system at the Swiss Light Source, the time and dose scales of low-dose X-ray-induced radiation damage and solvated electron generation in metalloproteins at 100 K are investigated. The effect of dose rate on these scales is also discussed.

Radiation damage in room-temperature data acquisition with the PILATUS 6M pixel detector
The first study of room-temperature macromolecular crystallography data acquisition with a silicon pixel detector is presented, where the data are collected in continuous sample rotation mode, with millisecond read-out time and no read-out noise. Several successive datasets were collected sequentially from single test crystals of thaumatin and insulin. The dose rate ranged between ∼ 1320 Gy s(-...

We have studied the effects of irradiation induced damage on the detector response of a synthetic single 11 crystal diamond radiation detector. Before introducing radiation damage, the spatial variation of the detec12 tor response was investigated using a highly focused 2.6 MeV proton beam. A very uniform response 13 close to 100 % charge collection efficiency (CCE) over the whole contact area ...

We report on the susceptibility of structural MEMS materials to proton radiation damage. Radiation tests at spacerelevant doses were conducted on MEMS resonators. The two materials examined were single crystal silicon and SU-8, which are both in widespread use in microsystems. The resonance frequency was monitored for measuring minute changes of the Young’s modulus. No radiation-induced changes...

The radiation damage rates to crystals of 15 model macromolecular structures were studied using an automated radiation sensitivity characterization procedure. The diffracted intensity variation with dose is described by a two-parameter model. This model includes a strong resolution-independent decay specific to room-temperature measurements along with a linear increase in overall Debye-Waller f...
