X-ray diffraction is an invaluable technique that allows scientists to probe the atomic-scale ordering of materials by examining the scattering of X-rays from a crystalline sample. We are seeking funding to upgrade an existing X-ray Diffractometer at SFU to allow for the acquisition of data more quickly and with higher sensitivity than is currently possible. The requested upgrade will permit a wide range of experiments that are not possible with the existing instrumentation, including the added capability to examine samples at temperatures between room temperature and 1200°C. This upgrade is essential for the ongoing research programs of material scientists at SFU.

X射线衍射是一种非常宝贵的技术，它使科学家能够通过检查晶体样品的X射线散射来探测材料的原子级有序性。 我们正在寻求资金来升级SFU现有的X射线衍射仪，以便比目前更快地获取数据，并具有更高的灵敏度。 所要求的升级将允许进行现有仪器无法进行的各种实验，包括增加在室温至1200摄氏度之间的温度下检查样品的能力。 这次升级对于SFU材料科学家正在进行的研究计划至关重要。
