Abstract
This report summarizes the outcome of a workshop, “Multimodal Synchrotron Approach—Research Needs and Scientific Vision,” held during the National Synchrotron Light Source–II (NSLS-II)/Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) 2019 Users’ Meeting at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) on May 22, 2019. Multimodal approaches are defined by the convergence of multiple measurement probes to tackle a single scientific problem. In a synchrotron light source context, this may manifest as the usage of multiple synchrotron beamlines or multiple detection techniques on the same beamline to probe a single sample or system. The synchrotron multimodal approach may be achieved by incorporating ancillary probes into synchrotron beamlines, by exploiting other measurement modalities—such as the electron-based and optical imaging methods—to augment synchrotron datasets, or even by exploiting theory and modeling to complement measurements.
