Siemens D500 Powder Diffractometer

X-Ray Diffraction

The Siemens D500 powder diffractometer is configured with an graphite monochrometer and IBM compatible workstation. This system is primarily used to satisy the needs of undergraduate research needs and is housed in that building.

LOCATION

Room 104, M&M Undergraduate Building

CAPABILITIES

This theta-theta configured goniometer permits automated collection of intensity vs. scattering angle scans. Data reduction schemes include unit cell determination, pattern indexing, precision lattice parameter determination. Crystalline compounds can be identified through indexing with the builtin JCPDS powder diffraction database.
