Opportunities of Advanced Physical Studies at the Hefei Advanced Light Facility

Synchrotron radiation has transformed the role of x-rays as a mainstream tool for probing the atomic and electronic structure of materials. Synchrotron-based x-ray sciences have been widely used to study the microscopic structure, electronic states, chemical composition, and other properties of materials in fields such as quantum materials, soft matter, energy storage, catalysis, biology, and electronics.
