Deep learning of structural morphology imaged by scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy by Aileen Luo, Tao Zhou, Martin V. Holt, Andrej Singer, Mathew J. Cherukara

“…Abstract Scanning X-ray nanodiffraction microscopy is a powerful technique for spatially resolving nanoscale structural morphologies by diffraction contrast. One of the critical challenges in experimental nanodiffraction data analysis is posed by the convergence angle of nanoscale focusing optics which creates simultaneous dependency of the far-field scattering data on three independent components of the local strain tensor—corresponding to dilation and two potential rigid body rotations of the unit cell. …”

Predictive modeling of visible-light azo-photoswitches’ properties using structural features by Said Byadi, P. K. Hashim, Pavel Sidorov

“…Abstract In this manuscript we present the strategy for modeling photoswitch properties (maximum absorption wavelength and thermal half-life of photoisomers) of visible-light azo-photoswitches using structural data. We compile a comprehensive data set from literature sources and perform a rigorous benchmark to select the best feature type and modeling approach. …”
