The Rigaku SmartLab Diffractometer is a multi-purpose instrument for general powder diffraction, thin-film (both reflectivity and high-resolution rocking curve analysis), low-volume powder analysis, analysis of samples in capillaries, pole figure/texture analysis, transmission and reflection SAXS, and high-temperature X-ray diffraction.

Features

  • Scintillation detector with graphite monochromator or D/teX Ultra 1-dimensional silicon strip detector with Ni Kb filter for rapid data collection.
  • Easily switchable Bragg/Brentano or parallel beam optics.
    • Incident beam 2-bounce Ge monochromator for high-resolution XRD
  • Eulerian cradle for measuring highly-textured samples and collecting data for pole figure analysis.
  • Anton Paar XRK900 stage for high-temperature XRD (air, N2, H2, CO atmospheres). 
  • Cu Ka radiation is standard. Co Ka and Mo Ka are also available.
