Simone Sala works with characterisation techniques at synchrotron facilities, also known as large scale research infrastructures (LSRI). Since 2014 Simone has been working with different X-ray microscopy techniques. These are techniques aimed at producing 2D images and 3D representations of samples from a diverse range of research fields, from materials science to biomedical applications.
Simone is interested in investigating the structural, morphological and chemical properties of samples which are inhomogeneous at the micro- or nanoscale. As a member of the LSRI team at RISE, he assists other researchers from experiment design to data analysis. He is always keen on discussing new possible applications of synchrotron radiation and expand the user base of these user-oriented research facilities.
Non-exhaustive list of characterisation techniques:
- absorption- and phase-contrast imaging (2D and 3D), incl. microscale computed tomography (µCT)
- holography and holotomography
- ptychography and ptychographic X-ray computed tomography (PXCT)
- X-ray fluorescence (XRF) microscopy
- scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM)
- X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, esp spatially-resolved
- scanning X-ray diffraction (XRD), i.e. spatially-resolved
- X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (XPEEM)
- X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS)
