    Schedule
    Monday to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
    • Operational equipment
    Ray source.

    • Equipped with:

      • Two-circle theta/theta goniometer. With pedestal for measurement in transmission and reflection modes.
      • Cu anode Xr tube (λ= 0.154nm).
      • Solid state detector (‘silicon strip’) LINXEYE-2 type.
      • Platforms:
        • Automatic changer for 9 samples for measurements in reflection or transmission modes with rotating sample, ‘Flip-Stick’ type.
        • XYZ platform for placement and orientation of irregular samples (less than 2 kg) and to be able to work in micro-diffraction mode. Double laser device, with camera for positioning the analysis points.
      • Optics:
        • Primary: to choose between variable divergence apertures for Bragg-Brentano or Göbel mirror for parallel beam geometry.
        • Secondary: variable divergence aperture convertible to a 0.2 degree Soller collimator.
        • Micro-diffraction: Collimators of different thickness to have an impact on a micrometric surface (0.1, 0.3, 0.5 or 1 mm diameter), which can be incorporated into a Göbel-type optic.

    • X-ray Unit
