2 PANalytical MRD for texture analysis (LMC)

PANalytical MRD for texture analysis and µXRD

PANalytical X'Pert Pro MRD (materials research diffractometer) 4-axes X-ray diffractometer both for texture analysis as well as space-resolved X-ray diffraction of thin films.

» X-ray lens with point focus and parallel beam

• texture analysis (pole figures, orientation distribution functions (ODFs))
• in-plane X-ray diffraction
• temperature-dependent texture analysis from RT to 1100°C (Anton Paar DHS1100)

» Optional set-up I: Mono-capillary for µXRD

• space-resolved X-ray diffraction, e.g. for lateral mapping (focus width ≈ 120 µm)

» Optional set-up II: X-ray mirror with automatic beam attenuator

• grazing incidence XRD
• omega scans
• reflectometry

» Equipment

• Eulerian cradle (Omega, Phi, Psi)
• X-ray lens with adjustable cross slits
• 230 mm x 0.1 mm mono-capillary
• X-ray mirror with automatic beam attenuator
• Xe point detector
