High Resolution X-ray Diffraction (HRXRD)

The High Resolution X-Ray Diffractometer consists of a sealed Copper tube source, a 4-axis Huber Cradle, and a Point Detector.

This system was manufactured by Bruker-AXS and is capable of measuring lattice parameters with an error of +/- .0005 angstroms. That's within 0.00000000000005 meters.

GADDS

This machine is equipped with a 2-dimensional area detector which is capable of capturing many diffracted beams at the same time. This gives you the ability to quickly see what phases have formed and their degree of crystallinity.
