Does anyone own a dual-port Excillum MetalJet X-ray system (both for crystallography)?

07 July 2015 0 3K Report

Hi, does anyone own a dual-port MetalJet X-ray system (both for crystallography)? How is the beam intensity when 2 ports are on for data collection? Many thanks

What could be the reason for not having further low chi square value (better agreement) in my refinement result?

I have tried every combination of parameter changes and after that i have a poor chi square value. I can't get it lower any further. I know there have been a lot of discussion about Rietveld...

How to replicate the well conditions of a crystal hit with 20%(w/v) isopropanol?

I had a crystal hit in a well with 0.1M HEPEs pH 7.5, 10%(w/v) PEG 4000, and 20%(w/v) isopropanol. Why is isopropanol in w/v here if it's just solvent? How do I recreate this well condition?

Electron density difference maps(Fo-Fc): what is the meaning of negative densities (red blobs)?

Dear community, As far as I understand, negative density features point at stuff that is in the model, but not supported by experimental data. However, in many cases (e.g. attached image), when...

Should the Ice 1h crystalline structure be lost during equilibration process in LAMMPS?

I have created an Ice 1h structure and am equilibrating it 100K in NVT ensemble in LAMMPS for a timestep of 0.25fs in 3000 steps. The potential used is TIP4P/Ice. Although the simulation runs fine...

Is there any list that contains which stiffness/elastic modulus(Cii,Cij) effect which plane or direction of a cubic system in what way?

The value of stiffness/elastic modulus(Cii,Cjj) affects crystallographic planes in many ways like maximum shear or maximum tensile stress when stress is applied. The anisotropic materials show...

Modelling of proton disorder from SCXRD data?

Hi Is it possible to model a proton disorder from the single crystal X-ray diffraction data? We don't have access to neutron diffraction. #crystallography #SCXRD #refinement of structures Thanks
