XRD Laboratory

Equipped with a sealed-tube copper X-ray source and 0D/1D SSD160-2 detector.  The instrument can be optionally configured for variable temperature studies, from room temperature to 1,100 °C. System was purchased by Prof. Arthur Mar (CHEM) through an NSERC grant and installed in June 2020.

Equipped with an air-cooled copper X-ray microsource and 0D/1D/2D Eiger 2R-500K detector.  The instrument can be optionally configured for (1) variable-temperature studies, from about -180 to 400 °C and (2) structural and other studies on thin films, such as X-ray reflectivity, high-resolution XRD, and grazing incidence XRD. System was purchased by a collective of 9 professors (from CHEM, CME, and EAS departments) through a CFI grant and installed in December 2023.

Equipped with a sealed-tube molybdenum X-ray source and 0D/1D LYNXEYE XE-T detector.  The instrument operates in the capillary geometry.  System was purchased by a collective of 9 professors (from CHEM, CME, and EAS departments) through a CFI grant and installed in December 2024.
