The Oxford Hot-Air-Blower heats up a compressed air stream in order to transfer heat to a sample. It is mostly used with our capillary setup with spinning option, where it sits beneath the capillary. The temperature range is from room temperature (293 K) up to 1200 K (max. 1100 K at sample position).

Please be aware, that you have to make calibration measurements by yourself within your requested beamtime, since the temperature highly depends on the actual working distance.

The Mini Hot-Air-Blower (longer and smaller nozzle than for the Oxford Hot-Air-Blower) heats up a compressed air stream in order to transfer heat to a sample. It is mostly used with our capillary setup with spinning option, where it sits beneath the capillary. The temperature range is from room temperature (293 K) up to 900 K.

The ceramic heater is our custom-build device in order to achieve temperatures between room temperature (293 K) up to 1200 K for long-term heating experiments, where no spinning of the capillary is required. It can also be equipped with other types of samples like metal rods, as long as they have no bigger diameter than 1 mm. Since the device can be immediatley powered off, quenching procedures by environmental cooling are possible.

The Linkam Furnace/Cryostat can operate in a wide temperature range of 77 K up to 823 K with high precision of ±1 K. The possible heating rates are between 1 and 20 K/min. It can be loaded with a capillary or with a metal rod with diameters of up to 0.9 mm and has no spinning capability.

The Oxford Cryostreamer Cooler is a blower systems which works with liquid nitrogen and can therefore achieve temperatures from 500 K down to 80 K (max. 100 K at sample position). It is mostly used with our capillary setup with spinning option, where it blows axial towards the capillary in order to cool or the heat the capillary uniformly with a laminar flow.

THIS DEVICE IS CURRENTLY BROKEN AND NOT AVAILABLE FOR USERS

The available Closed-cycle He-Cryostat with cold finger can be used for performing PXRD as well as Total Scattering experiments in a temperature range form 300 K down to 4 K. The cold fingers offers the possibilities to mount 11 capillary samples at once, without any spinning capability.

The He Flow-Cryostat is currently under commissioning and not publicly available!

The He-Flow-Cryostat has a large window and therefore it is suited to make total scattering measurements of capillary samples at low temperatures. The temperature range is from room temperature (293 K ) down to ??? K. The capillaries are mounted without any spinning capability.

HEATING OPTION CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE! ONLY ROOM TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS.

The Kammrath & Weiss Stress rig can be used to apply stress on dog-bone shaped standard samples (see also https://www.kammrath-weiss.com/en/products/materials/tensile-compression.html) with applied forces of 500 N up to 5 kN. It can work in tensile or compressive mode with elongation rates of 0.2-20 µm/s (micrometer/second). The possible elongation range is 20-60 mm. Furthermore a heating system is available with a temperature range from room temperature (293 K) up to 673 K. If required a protective gas atomsphere can be applied (e.g. Argon atmosphere).

The capillary spinner for gas experiments is a custom-made spinner device which allows for rotating a gas filled capillary mounted on a commercial Huber goniometer head by 360° forth and back. This setup can be used only for non-corrosive gases!

The Biologic VMP3 potentiostat offers 8 channels (1 channel is equipped for impedance spectroscopy) in order to control for example charging and discharging of sample (e.g. batteries). It is controlled by the EC lab software.

The Biologic VMP300 potentiostat offers 8 channels (1 channel is equipped for impedance spectroscopy) in order to control for example charging and discharging of sample (e.g. batteries) plus 8 booster channels. It is controlled by the EC lab software.

This device can also be borrowed from the P02.1 beamline in order to perform experiments at other DESY facilities. However, if you use this potentiostat at another beamline/experiment besides at the P02.1 beamline, you HAVE TO acknowledge the use of the potentiostat in any kind of publication by mentioning it in the acknowledgement with "This work was performed by using the Biologic potentiostat of PETRAIII beamline P02.1."

The HZG high pressure gas cell was especially designed for performing powder experiments under high gas pressures up to several hundred bar. Powders are usually loaded into sapphire capillaries and can then also be heated with a heater placed below the capillary. In addition to static high pressure experiments, the cell can also be used in a flow mode.

This device is only available on a collaborative basis together with the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht. For further information, please contact Dr. Martin Etter (martin.etter@desy.de) in advance before you submit proposals!

Mechanochemical experiments can be performed at the beamline using a modified Retsch MM400 shaking ball mill or an Insolido IST636 shaking ball mill. Reactants have to be put in special plastic or special metallic jars together with zirconia, steel or tungsten carbide balls and can then be milled at a maximum frequency of 30 Hz (Retsch) or 36 Hz (Insolido) for a maximum time of 90 min.

These devices are special in their usage. If you plan to use them, please contact Dr. Martin Etter (martin.etter@desy.de) in advance.
