Thin Film

A probe station in a form factor for mounting to a variety of XRD instrumentation. Suitable for most laboratory based x-ray diffractometers and synchrotron sources. For example*: Bruker D8, Rigaku SmartLab, Pan-Analytical Empyrean and X'Pert.

Description

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.
