Rigaku Smartlab XRD
Powerful rotating copper anode X-ray source
Description
The D8 Discover is a flexible thin-film instrument with a powerful rotating copper anode X-ray source producing higher X-ray flux at your sample than is possible with the sealed X-ray sources on the other instruments..
Specifications
-
- 9 kW Cu rotating anode.
-
- High-resolution Vertical theta/theta 4-Circle Goniometer system with open architecture design for horizontal sample mounting.
-
- Cross Beam Optics (CBO) with user selectable parallel beam and focusing optical configurations for asymmetric and symmetric scanning geometries.
-
- Permanently mounted, permanently aligned parabolic multilayer X-ray mirror compatible with all optical and goniometer configurations.
-
- Large area detector (Hypix 3000) for 2D XRD experiments including RSM and diffraction mapping.
-
- High-precision motor driven sample stage.
-
- In-plane diffraction attachment providing an additional detector scanning axis orthogonal to the theta/2-theta diffraction plane allowing measurement of planes parallel to the sample surface.
Application
- Material structure determination and identification
- Texture, stress, pole figure, micro-diffraction, GIXRD, GISAXS, reciprocal space mapping (RSM).
