The cryomodule PXFEL3_1 is one of three prototype cryomodules for the European XFEL. In preparation of the series module assembly it was used for the qualification of infrastructure and personnel at CEA Saclay. [...]

Nitrogen-rich noble metal nitrides possess unique mechanical and catalytic properties, therefore their synthesis and characterization is of interest for fundamental solid state chemistry and materials science. In this study we have synthesized a novel single-source precursor [Rh(NH3)6]3(N3)5Cl4 (Rh:N ratio 1:11) [...]

The compressional behaviour of a natural allanite from Lago della Vecchia (upper Cervo valley, Italy) metagranitoids[A1(Ca0.69Fe2+0.31)Σ1.00A2(Ca0.46Ce0.24La0.12Sm0.02Pr0.05Nd0.09Th0.02)Σ1.00M1(Al0.65Fe3+0.34Ti0.02)Σ1.01M2(Al0.99)M3(Fe3+0.54Fe2+0.36Mg0.06Ti4+0.02Al0.01)Σ0.99 Si1,Si2,Si3(Si2.80Al0.20)Σ3.00O11(OH,O)] has been investigated up to 16 GPa (at 298 K) by means of in situsynchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Experiments have been conducted under hydrostatic conditions, using a diamondanvil cell and the mix methanol:ethanol:water = 16:3:1 (up to 10 GPa) and neon (up to 16 GPa) as pressure-transmittingmedia.

The Photon-Ion Spectrometer at PETRAIII—in short, PIPE—is a permanentlyinstalled user facility at the "Variable Polarization XUV Beamline" P04 of thesynchrotron light source PETRA III operated by DESY in Hamburg, Germany.The careful design of the PIPE ion-optics in combination with the record-highphoton flux at P04 has lead to a breakthrough in experimental studies ofphoton interactions with ionized small quantum systems. This short reviewprovides an overview over the published scientific results from photon-ionmerged-beams experiments at PIPE that were obtained since the start of P04operations in 2013. [...]

Barely two weeks after the European XFEL opened its doors to users, the first user experiment was performedby a DESY-led international team of over 120 researchers. The European XFEL is the first hard X-ray FEL in the world capable of producing femtosecond pulses at a megahertz repetition rate. [...]

Molecules are the entities defining the world around us, the building blocks of chemistry and biology. Everybody knows what a molecule is, but it’s far from trivial to define exactly what is a ‘molecule’. [...]
