XRD - discover the g-information XRD – X-ray diffraction by means of a 2-dimensional detector – is the method of choice for examining any type of sample in a nondestructive way. An XRD pattern covers a large solid angle containing several complete or large Single Crystal portions of Debye rings that describe the diffracted intensity distribution in both 2θ and γ directions. An XRD pattern therefore contains abundant information about the properties of a crystalline material. Extracting this information is straightforward using our comprehensive XRD algorithms. Here’s Micro Sample how it works:...

To really benefit from the extra dimension of XRD, you must have the best photon counting 2-D detector. No compromises! For a 2-D detector, size is the most important feature. A large detector window not only enables increased data collection speed, it also provides information that is simply not accessible with 0-D, 1-D or smaller 2-D detectors. The VÅNTEC-500 detector features a huge 140-mm-diameter window, covering up to about 80° (2θ) and a large γ-range. This allows you to: imultaneously measure several pole S figures with background correction over broad diffraction peaks of a C stressed...

The true musts of XRD – sources, optics, sampling handling Before you can start collecting XRD data from your sample, you need to position the sample and define the region of interest. With our patented Laser-Video microscope, any type of sample can be accurately aligned and positioned in a simple way without touching its surface. Just zoom in on the region of interest and move your sample to the desired XY-position; control sample height by monitoring the relative positions of the laser spot and microscope crosshair and start your measurement. It is as simple as that. Our market-leading goniometer...

XRD – don’t miss a single phase The D8 DISCOVER with XRD each and every sample can be analyzed. The exceptional strength of XRD excels at analyzing challenging samples with larger grains or textured materials. Samples like these can be analyzed in real time at dimensions unmatched by other diffractometers. Preparation is quick and easy: place your sample, zoom in with the Laser-Video microscope and center your sample – nothing else required. Choose a start and end angle, measurement time, and resolution. Then go! The system starts collecting a series of XRD patterns and displays them in a Debye...

Our DIFFRAC.SUITE software provides the optimum measurement strategy. It proposes the best settings for optimized data collection in different geometries. The Debye view allows you to identify Debye rings with similar properties in terms of spottiness and texture, for example. Only the Debye rings with identical characteristics can belong to the same crystalline phase. Use our unique SEARCH/MATCH function to identify the crystalline...

XRD – get right to the point Patterned wafers, forensic samples, inclusions in geological materials… These very diverse samples all have one thing in common: the area of interest is very tiny. For these applications, our patented Laser-Video microscope and precise sample stages guarantee that you exactly measure the area of interest–regardless of sample size or shape. When an X-ray beam is collimated down to a micro-spot size, obviously only a few crystallites are hit by the incident beam and diffract the X-rays. This results in spotty diffraction patterns and in very weak diffraction signals....
