6-circle (PSIC) diffractometer using a Cu source
Responsible: Dr. Vedran Vonk
The DESY Nanolab operates three separate X-ray set-ups which are all controlled via SPEC software. Different point-, stripe- and area detectors are available. Each set-up is placed within a shielded experimental hutch and monitored with an interlock system.
The first set-up is a dedicated X-ray reflectometer (XRR), equipped with a molybdenum X-ray tube and adapted focusing multilayer optics. Typically, theta-2theta scans with a vertical scattering plane are performed with SPEC's FOURC geometry code.
The second machine is a full 6-circle X-ray diffractometer for grazing incidence geometry (so-called Z-axis). It is used in combination with a copper X-ray tube and multilayer focusing optics. It is run with SPEC's SIXC geometry code.
The third device is a full 6-circle X-ray diffractometer (a so-called PSIC geometry). It gives access to reciprocal space in various geometries, also grazing incidence. It is run with SPEC's PSIC geometry code.
The X-ray lab is situated in building 25, EG 023.
