Malvern Panalytical Empyrean XRD

By Carnegie Mellon University

The Empyrean has focusing optics and parallel beam optics. It is used for powder/bulk XRD analysis, thin film analysis, pole figures, residual stress measurements, reflectivity, rocking curves, microdiffraction, and in situ high temperature work. Capabilities - Pole figures - Residual stress - X-ray reflectivity - Rocking curves - Microdiffraction - High temperature (1600°C in air, vacuum, and inert environments) Incident Beam - Fixed slits - X-ray mirror (with optical microbeam optics) - Polycapillary lens Diffracted Beam - Parallel plate collimator (receiving slit and graphite monochromator optional) - Fixed Slits - Proportional Detector - 1Der Detector Hot stages - Anton Paar 16N is a strip heater that can go to 1600°C in air, vacuum, and inert environments X-ray source - Copper - Molybdenum Location Hamerschlag Hall Function X-Ray Diffraction Contact Betsy Clark Rates and materials - Rate type: Hourly - CMU (Internal): $35
