Short description of shared resource
Malvern Panaytical Empyrean Series 3 diffraction system configured for a very wide range of applications and experiments. The system is easy to use and at the same time allows you to get the highest quality results.
Possible analyzes:
- Phase (qualitative) analysis of inorganic and organic powdery, solid and pasty materials
- Structural and quantitative analysis by the Rietveld method
- Phase quantitative and semiquantitative analysis
- Study of structural changes under the influence of high temperature (up to 1200OC)
- Phase analysis of thin films (crystalline and amorphous)
- Sample mapping (microdiffraction) with a spot size of 100 microns
- Determination of nanoparticles' size, shape and size distribution by the low-angle scattering method (SAXS) for samples that can be solids, powders, emulsions, colloids, solutions of macromolecules of low concentrations, pasty material, etc.
- 2D SAXS for determining the order and orientation of nanoparticles
- Reflectometry for determining the thickness, roughness and density of thin films and multilayer thin film systems
- 2D GISAXS method for studying thin films, especially films consisting of nanoparticles or nanostructures
- Computed tomography (CT) of small objects with 3D reconstruction
- Determination of crystallite size
- Determination of residual stress in the material (Residual Stress)
- Analysis of the orientation of crystallites in the material (Texture)
