X-RAY DIFFRACTION LABORATORY FOR CRYSTALLINE POWDERS (RINT2500) – IC BARI

 DESCRIPTION: 

X-ray diffraction laboratory for crystalline powders (RINT2500)

X-ray diffractometer using a 18kW rotating anode with copper target and a horizontal 2θ/θ goniometer (independent or coupled) with range of measure from -3 to +145o in 2θ geometry and from -180 to +180o in θ geometry. The diffractometer is equipped with an asymmetric Johansson Ge(111) crystal on the incident beam to select the monochromatic Cu Kα1 radiation (λ= 1.54056 Å). The diffractometer is provided with two detectors: 1) NaI scintillator counter; 2) Silicon strip D/teX Ultra detector. The measurements are executed at room temperature in Debye Scherrer geometry by introducing the sample in glass capillary, which is mounted on the axis of the diffractometer and put in rotation.
The diffractometer is devoted to research and/or service activities executing measures aimed at the following purposes: 1) data collection; 2) qualitative analysis using QUALX2.0 software, developed by IC researchers; 3) structural characterization by applying the EXPO software developed by IC researchers.
