THEME 04-4-1141-2020/2022

The development of a new laboratory for structural research of new materials (catalysts, polymers, etc.), nanomaterials (nanoparticles, nanocomposites, etc.), materials under extreme conditions (superconductors, perovskites, etc.) and biomaterials (proteins, DNA, etc.) utilizing synchrotron X-rays.

Expected main results in the current year:

Construction of technical infrastructure for the SOLCRYS laboratory.
Development of a superconducting wiggler, which will produce synchrotron radiation in the range of 5 to 22 keV, to be used by the end stations of the SOLCRYS beamlines.
Design of experimental beamlines.
