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.Multimodal approach as a holistic approach offers deeper understanding in complex, heterogeneous systems, critical for increased scientific impact and technological applications. As a facility, NSLS-II, a US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility located at BNL, recognizes both the challenges and opportunities, and thus identifies multimodality as one of the priorities in its strategic plan, launching a Multimodal Issues Task Force in October 2016. Moreover, NSLS-II offers users the possibility to submit one beamtime proposal to include time requests at multiple beamlines (via multimodal proposals), starting in the third cycle of 2019. Such efforts would not reach their potential without outreach to the broader scientific research and technical development community. This workshop intended to address the opportunity and challenges of multimodal analysis at synchrotron light sources.
