Bruker D8 A25 DaVinci X-ray Diffractometer with CuKα radiation. LynxEye™ SuperSpeed Detector. 90 position sample changer.
NB! There is a small offset in the goniometer which is not possible to repair on site, meaning that you will measure a slight offset of your peak position compared to the "real values" or the database results. More information here.
Well suited for:
- Fast XRD scans for phase identification
- Samples that can wait in a queue for hours before being measured (the engineer will load the samples into the instrument every morning and afternoon)
- Energy-discriminating detector makes it useful also for the fluorescing elements (Fe, Co, Mn)
...
- Samples that change fast in air (then the D8 Focus may be better to use, due to the booking system)
- Samples that doesn't fit the standard sample holdersMeasurements where you want to avoid the Kα2 contributions (then the A-unit is recommended)
