Materials Characterization and Analysis Service—Rigaku Smartlab X-Ray Diffractometer

Summary

Rigaku SmartLab is a high-resolution X-ray diffractometer with a high-flux 9 kW rotating anode X-ray source coupled with a HyPix-3000 high-energy-resolution 2D multi-dimensional semiconductor detector that supports 0D, 1D and 2D measurement modes. The HyPix-3000 detector can be used to obtain 2D powder diffraction patterns, which can be processed to deliver superior qualitative analysis by using all of the 2D pattern information. The high-flux anode enables fast measurements and excellent signal with high resolution even for samples with low crystallinity. The system is ideal for thin film measurements but can also be used for powder measurements (capillary attachment). Measurement modes include XRR, 2D SAXS/WAXS, GID.
