X-ray diffraction methods
Bruker D8 Discover Powder Diffractometer
The Bruker-AXS D8 Discover diffractometer is comprehensively equipped, enabling a wide range of measurement tasks to be carried out:
- a vertical θ/θ goniometer with a measurement circle radius of 330 mm
- Cu, Co, Cr and Mo X-ray tubes with adjustment-free switching between line and point focus
- LynxEye XE-T 1D energy-dispersive detector and Eiger2 500K 2D area detector
- Sample stages: rotary sample holder with autosampler (45 samples), centric 5-axis Euler cradle, capillary sample holder, SAXS extension
- TC-DOME in situ high-temperature chamber for measurements up to 1400 °C in air, nitrogen and helium
- Automatic divergence slit for reflection measurements in Bragg–Brentano geometry, parallel-beam optics for Cu and Co radiation (Göbel mirrors), point-focus capillary optics (focus 0.3 mm to 2 mm)
Malvern-Panalytical X'Pert Pro powder diffractometer
The Malvern-Panalytical X'Pert Pro diffractometer is available for routine reflection measurements:
- vertical θ/θ goniometer with a 240 mm measurement circle radius
- Co X-ray tube, line focus, ideal for Fe-containing samples (no fluorescence)
- 1D semiconductor line detector (X’Celerator)
- Sample stages: rotary sample holder, clamping device for flat samples
