Acquisition of a High-Intensity X-Ray Diffractometer

这台18千瓦的旋转阳极X射线发生器和衍射仪将提供最先进的功能，补充校园内现有的各种独特的中子、电子和伽马射线衍射计划。X射线源配置为两个用户光束，一个用于小角散射实验，另一个主要用于单晶实验。单晶衍射仪是由Huber制造的标准四圆模型，将配备单色仪。建议的研究包括对单晶衬底上物理吸附的金属表面和薄膜的结构和相变的研究。表面和低维物理是人们主要感兴趣的领域。金属和磁性系统的结构研究、金属的相变、液体散射研究以及结构化学和生物学的研究也可以包括在内。该设施为布鲁克海文国家实验室的国家同步加速器光源提供内部实验、研究生培训和后续研究的前期工作。

This 18 kW rotating-anode x-ray generator and diffractometer will provide state-of-the-art capabilities complementing a unique variety of existing neutron, electron, and gamma-ray diffraction programs on the campus. The x-ray source is configured for two user beams, one for small-angle scattering experiments and the other primarily for single-crystal experiments. The single- crystal diffractometer is a standard four-circle model built by Huber and is to be equipped with a monochromator. Proposed research includes studies of the structure and phase transitions of metal surfaces and films physisorbed on single-crystal substrates. Surface and low-dimensional physics are primary areas of interest. Research in structural studies of metals and magnetic systems, phase transitions in metals, liquid scattering studies, and structural chemistry and biology can also be accommodated. The facility provides in-house capability for experiments, graduate student training, and preliminary work for subsequent studies at the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
