Bruker D8 ADVANCE Powder Diffractometer |
Main Characteristics
Bragg Brentano geometry, using Cu radiation and secondary monochromator Trademark Bruker D8 ADVANCE Powder Diffractometer Applications Structural characterization studies on powders (such as zeolites, mixed metal oxides, organic, coordination and organometallic compounds, active pharmaceutical compounds), with emphasis on phase characterization and identification, phase transition and polymorphism studies. Film samples can also be analyzed, but in Brag-Brentano mode. The diffractometer is eqquiped with a Anton Paar HTK-16 high temperature chamber (RT-1400ºC) that allows to study the compounds structural transitions with temperature.

A contribution (to be defined) to the regular expenses, associated with the utilization of the equipment, is expected from the users. Requests have to be done in a request form and different polices are applied: if the collaboration involve co-authorship no payment is involved; if it is done in service basis it depends on the data required and also if the users are from other Universities or from Companies. |
