XRD Instruments
- Siemens D5005 Powder X-ray diffractometer (PXRD) in Bragg-Brentano geometry with a scintillation counter and Cu X-ray source. Installed in 1998.
- Rigaku Dual Beam Synergy-S single-crystal X-ray diffractometer (SXRD) equipped with a HyPix-6000HE detector, micro-focused Mo and Cu X-ray sources. It can also run Gandolfi movements for phase identification of very small samples (down to ~30 μm) and very small amounts of powders (mg). Installed in 2018.
Software Packages and Databases
- Bruker AXS DIFFRAC.EVA for phase identification based on the Crystallography Open Database (COD) and the most recent PDF-4 database from the International Center of Diffraction Data (ICDD).
- Bruker AXS TOPAS V5 for structural characterization of powdered samples (Rietveld-based full profile methods): lattice parameters and microstructure.
- CrysAlis Pro for single crystal and Gandolfi XRD measurements.
