Powder Diffraction

Besides standard structural studies of capillary and flat plate samples, the PD instrument, with its various attachments and detectors, allows investigations of residual stress, texture, and real-time, in-situ processes. Plans exist to use the instrument in both high-resolution and fast access modes for studies of zeolite catalysts, intermetallic hydrogen storage materials, inked polymers, refractory ceramics and metallic multilayers.

Surface Diffraction

Surface diffraction is a unique tool for determining the detailed atomic structure of crystalline surfaces. Please find a selection of research highlights performed at this endstation on/sls/ms/Station2_ResearchEN
