CRYSFORMA, a unit from the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) managed by Dr. Jordi Cerón, provides complete scientific support to the pharmaceutical and fine chemistry industry in the field of pharmaceutical solid state development. CRYSFORMA is currently applying its expertise to use the ALBA synchrotron facilities in its projects in the area of polymorphism.
David Pesquera, Blai Casals, Gervasi Herranz and Josep Fontcuberta from the Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) have used new in-situ electrical poling capabilities at the PEEM microscope to image magnetic switching in a ferromagnetic La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) thin film.
ITQ-52 is a new zeolite with industrial applications in catalysis, gas adsorption and separation, encapsulation and controlled release of molecules. This structure has been solved using X-ray diffraction data collected at BL04-MSPD.
Laura Martín and Juan de la Figuera (Instituto de Química Física “Rocasolano”- CSIC) together with their colleagues Beatriz Martínez-Pabón, Arantzazu Mascaraque, L. Pérez and Manuel Abuín (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) have measured circular dichroism in the Ru valence band at the CIRCE-PEEM.
