Resolving non-equilibrium shape variations amongst millions of gold nanoparticles
Zhou Shen, Salah Awel, Anton Barty +36
Nanoparticles, exhibiting functionally relevant structural heterogeneity, are at the forefront of cutting-edge research. Now, high-throughput single-particle imaging (SPI) with x-r…
On the use of multilayer Laue lenses with X-ray Free Electron Lasers
Mauro Prasciolu, Kevin T. Murray, Nikolay Ivanov +34
Multilayer Laue lenses were used for the first time to focus x-rays from an X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL). In an experiment, which was performed at the European XFEL, we demonst…
Unsupervised learning approaches to characterize heterogeneous samples using X-ray single particle imaging
Yulong Zhuang, Salah Awel, Anton Barty +39
One of the outstanding analytical problems in X-ray single particle imaging (SPI) is the classification of structural heterogeneity, which is especially difficult given the low sig…
Optical funnel to guide and focus virus particles for X-ray laser imaging
Salah Awel, Sebastian Lavin-Varela, Nils Roth +5
The need for precise manipulation of nanoparticles in gaseous or near-vacuum environments is encountered in many studies that include aerosol morphology, nanodroplet physics, nanos…
3D diffractive imaging of nanoparticle ensembles using an X-ray laser
Kartik Ayyer, P. Lourdu Xavier, Johan Bielecki +34
We report the 3D structure determination of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by X-ray single particle imaging (SPI). Around 10 million diffraction patterns from gold nanoparticles were m…
Optimizing aerodynamic lenses for single-particle imaging
Nils Roth, Salah Awel, Daniel A. Horke +1
A numerical simulation infrastructure capable of calculating the flow of gas and the trajectories of particles through an aerodynamic lens injector is presented. The simulations in…
Femtosecond x-ray diffraction from an aerosolized beam of protein nanocrystals
Salah Awel, Richard A. Kirian, Max O. Wiedorn +22
We demonstrate near-atomic-resolution Bragg diffraction from aerosolized single granulovirus crystals using an x-ray free-electron laser. The form of the aerosol injector is nearly…
Visualizing aerosol-particle injection for diffractive-imaging experiments
Salah Awel, Richard A. Kirian, Niko Eckerskorn +5
Delivering sub-micrometer particles to an intense x-ray focus is a crucial aspect of single-particle diffractive-imaging experiments at x-ray free-electron lasers. Enabling direct…
