Recorded 12 October 2022. Marie-Ingrid Richard of the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique (CEA) presents "Structural evolution of nanoparticles under realistic conditions observed with Bragg coherent x-ray imaging" at IPAM's Diffractive Imaging with Phase Retrieval Workshop. Abstract: The advent of the new 4th generation x-ray light sources represents an unprecedented opportunity to conduct in situ and operando studies on the structure of nanoparticles in reactive liquid or gas environments. Here, we will illustrate how Bragg coherent x-ray imaging [1] allows to image in three dimensions (3D) and at the nanoscale the strain and defect dynamics inside nanoparticles as well as their refaceting during catalytic reactions [2–6]. This imaging technique can be coupled with molecular statics simulations to investigate the 3D strain and stress fields in nanoparticles. We will also discuss the possibility to measure particles as small as 20 nm [7] and to enable high-resolution and high-energy imaging with Bragg coherent x-ray diffraction at 4th generation x-ray light sources. Finally, we will highlight the potential of machine learning to predict characteristic structural features in nanocrystals just from their 3D Bragg coherent diffraction patterns [8].
