This work directly characterizes the deformation of silicon nitride (SiN) membranes used as windows under experimental conditions for various cell configurations. The resulting measured deformation was then used to develop a predictive model that combines transmission effects of SiN bowing, incident X-ray beam profiles, and material-dependent resonant scattering cross sections to simulate the effective scattering intensity at the detector across the carbon K-edge. The results overturn the assumption that corner regions dominate the scattering signal, offering explicit design guidelines for maximizing LP-RSoXS signals and significantly advancing the quantitative application of this technique to the characterization of molecular and hybrid nanostructured materials in liquids.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read the article: <a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.rsc.org\/en\/Content\/ArticleLanding\/2025\/LC\/D5LC00765H\">Optimizing microfluidic flow cell geometry for in situ resonant soft X-ray characterization of molecular nanostructures | Lab on a Chip (pubs.rsc.org)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graduate student Devin Grabner\u2019s work on characterizing and optimizing microfluidic flow cell geometry for in situ resonant soft X-ray characterization of molecular nanostructures has been published in the RSC Journal: Lab on a Chip.
