We have two X-ray diffraction setups in building 346:
We have three X-ray diffraction setups in building 346:
*The [[/XRD_SmartLab|XRD SmartLab]] primarily for thin film analysis inside the cleanroom.
*The [[/XRD_SmartLab|XRD SmartLab]] primarily for thin film analysis inside the cleanroom.
*The [[/XRD SmartLab 9kW Rotating Anode|XRD SmartLab 9kW Rotating Anode]] multipurpose system outside the cleanroom.
*The [[/XRD_Powder|XRD Powder]] for phase analysis of powders outside the cleanroom.
*The [[/XRD_Powder|XRD Powder]] for phase analysis of powders outside the cleanroom.

For data analysis, we recommend using Rigaku SmartLab Studio for both thinfilms and basic powder analysis.
For data analysis, we recommend using Rigaku SmartLab Studio for both thinfilms and basic powder analysis.
If more advanced powder analysis is needed a remote desktop with a licens for the Malvern Panalytical software, HighScore is available.
If more advanced powder analysis is needed we provide access to a remote desktop with a licence for the excellent Malvern Panalytical software, HighScore.
