IAP 2006 Activity


Introduction to the X-ray Diffraction Laboratory
Peter Kloumann
Wed Jan 18, 10am-01:00pm, 13-4027

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

Learn about x-ray diffraction and what it can do for you. We will introduce both a Rigaku and a Bruker generator, and demonstrate methods for identifying unknown polycrystalline materials, determination of lattice constants and other uses based upon your research needs. The Rigaku has a high resolution 250 mm diffractometer and a high intensity 185 mm diffractometer. The Bruker D8 microdiffractometer has a large area detector. The quarter circle Eularian goniometer allows positioning the sample accurately in any orientation. Accessories are available for high temperature (900C) investigation. Bring a sample for a demonstration and consult with us about applying X-ray diffraction methods to your material.
