Description

The Reflection Geometry system allows electric fields of ±5kV to be applied to bulk materials while conducting XRD measurements from a surface. Ideal for electro-ceramic and single crystal research in laboratory or synchrotron x-ray systems. Electrical current and displacements sensors are packaged within the unit allowing simultaneous strain and polarization measurements. 

Specifications

  • Suitable for most laboratory based x-ray diffractometers and synchrotron sources,
    • For example*: Bruker D8, Rigaku SmartLab, Pan​Analytical Empyrean and X'Pert.
  • Mechanical strain and electrical polarisation measurements in situ.
  • Applied voltages ±5 kV,
    • Recommended external amplifier is the Trek 10/10B-HS, although custom cabling for alternative amplifiers is possible upon request.
    • Silicon oil can be used in horizontal geometry to increase achievable field.
  • Sample diameters of 7 mm to 12 mm.
  • Sample thicknesses of 0.1 mm to 2 mm.
  • Temperature range from room temperature to 200°C.
  • Large scattering angle range, including grazing incidence angles.
  • Compact system design for maximum portability and versatility.
  • Interlocked for safety with voltage application only possible when cell is closed.

Please Note

Compatibility of a particular diffractometer will depend on its configuration.  Please discuss with our contact staff to understand if your system is suitable.

Bulk Transmission Geometry

Working with high-energy x-rays offers some advantages in the study of bulk electro-mechanical materials. The Transmission Geometry system is ideally suited for use at high-energy synchrotron x-ray beamlines or lab sources with higher energy targets such as Ag or Mo. Precise polarization and strain measurements can be obtained in-situ at voltages up to ±7.5 kV.

Product Thin Film
Thin Film

The Thin Film measurement system packages an entire probe station into a compact head unit for use within existing XRD equipment. While conducting structural XRD measurements, static or cyclic fields between ±50V can be applied. Current, polarization, I-V and C-V curve measurements can be obtained simultaneously.
