XRD Rigaku SmartLab 3kW XSPA

FACTS N4.1 B4-10

A dedicated modular XRD system primarily used for powder XRD analysis.

For training and related requirements please check: New user info
The diffractometer is can be readily reconfigured for other XRD techniques such as, thin film XRD, texture measurements and PDF analysis. 
X-ray source: Cu Ka LFF line focus
Goniometer: theta-theta goniometer with horizontal sample mounting
Goniometer radius: 300 mm

Primary incident optics: Bragg-Brentanno and Parallel (CBO(Cu)-SL), High resolution CBO (CBO-a)
Optional optics: Bragg-Brentanno and Focusing (CBO-E(Cu)-SL), Ge(220) 2 bounce monochromator
Diffracted optics: receiving slits, parallel slit analyzer

Sample stages: standard, Eulerian cradle, X-Y mapping, capillary spinner, automatic sample changer, 

Detector: XSPA-400ER (0D, 1D, 2D) with X-ray fluorescence suppression

For PDF analysis the change in configuration are as follows:
X-ray source: Ag LFF line focus
Incident optics: CBO-E(Ag)
Detector: D/teX Ultra250-HE SL
