Wigner Research Centre physicists awarded Swedish Gregori Aminoff Prize
Researchers from the HUN-REN Wigner Research Centre for Physics, Miklós Tegze, Gábor Bortel, and Gyula Faigel, have been awarded the Gregori Aminoff Prize by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The award recognizes their development of a new method for determining crystal structures.
Known as Kossel crystallography, the technique utilizes a single, extremely short 25-femtosecond X-ray free-electron laser pulse to determine the three-dimensional atomic structure of a crystal. This approach eliminates the need for the traditional rotation of the crystal during measurement.
The researchers demonstrated the method using gallium arsenide and gallium phosphide single crystals at the European XFEL facility. This advancement allows for the observation of extremely rapid and short-lived structural changes that are difficult to track with conventional methods. The findings were published in the journal Nature Communications in 2024.
