Abstract
X-ray measurements are very powerful analysis methods enabling materials investigation on micro- and nano-scales to improve product quality and optimize technologies. Synchrotron X-rays provide unique characterization possibilities enabling high-throughput studies of film growth and processing with millisecond temporal resolution. Structure and formation dynamics of thin films directly determine performance in photovoltaic devices, batteries, power-to-x technologies, and beyond. To facilitate research on thin films using X-rays, FOM Technologies has developed a unique slot-die coater called FOM photonR2R designed for high-throughput and multimodal as well as in-situ studies at various beamlines.
The first part of the webinar focuses on the working principles of synchrotron X-rays and how these techniques can unlock detailed insights into thin film formation, including phase transformations and annealing effects, benefiting next-generation thin film research. We will also cover how DTI can support your research—from experiment design to execution—illustrated through recent project and commercial collaborations.
In the second talk, the FOM photonR2R characteristics and capabilities of multimodal study at beam lines will be presented. The machine epitomizes the compactness, functionality, remote control and versatility of slot-die coating in thin-film research. The photon is ideal for a wide range of materials and coating processes relevant to both industry and academia.
The last part is dedicated to the unique proposition offered by FOM Technologies, which helps customers to run effective and reliable coating experiments. Real deployment cases, where scientists have integrated FOM slot die coaters into an operational environment and reported strong satisfaction with performance and usability will be shown.
