Rigaku SmartLab
Description
A multi-purpose diffractometer for general powder diffraction, thin-film (both reflectivity and high-resolution rocking curve analysis), low-volume powder analysis, analysis of samples in capillaries, pole figure/texture analysis, transmission and reflection SAXS, and high temperature X-ray diffraction.
Features
- Scintillation detector with graphite monochromator or D/teX Ultra 1-dimensional silicon strip detector with Ni Kb filter for rapid data collection.
- Easily switchable Bragg/Brentano or parallel beam optics.
-
- Incident beam 2-bounce Ge monochromator for high resolution XRD.
- Eulerian cradle for measuring highly-textured samples and collecting data for pole figure analysis.
- Anton Paar XRK900 stage for high temperature XRD (air, N2, H2, CO atmospheres).
- Cu Ka radiation is standard. Co Ka and Mo Ka are also available.
