High-resolution powder diffractometer
Using both focusing and position sensitive detection, this instrument is used for the study of crystal structures (nuclear and magnetic) with good precision and high throughput. Samples are typically 1 gram or less and measurements are complete in a few hours, allowing studies as a function of some parameter (pressure, temperature, composition, etc.) to be completed in a short period. This instrument may also be used for real time studies, since 20 degrees of the diffraction pattern is measured in one observation, and the region may be repeatedly measured as structural changes progress. It is routinely used for the study of magnetic materials, superconducting compounds and cement compounds as well as for cement hydration processes.
