It is meant for phase analysis of powders and is easy to use. The setup allows X-ray diffraction measurements with a Cu source in Bragg-Brentano mode (i.e., Theta-2Theta measurements where the incident and diffraction arms of the goniometer are coupled). We have a very limited selection of optics for this instrument, so there is little that the user can adjust. | ||
Please contact the equipment responsible if you would like to mount the special sample | Special capabilities: | ||
* The instrument has a 1D strip detector, which makes data acquisition very efficient, so you can measure your samples relatively quickly. | |||
* The detector also has a fluorescence suppression option, so you can measure samples containing for instance iron with the copper radiation. | |||
* Sample heating up to 500° C possible in N<sub>2</sub>. | |||
* Transmission measurements possible. | |||
Please contact the equipment responsible if you would like to mount the special sample holders for heating or transmission measurements. | |||
