Diffractometer

We provide the option to perform studies of nuclear diffraction from single crystals (or quasi-crystals) in a conventional mode of reciprocal space scan. For this purpose a high-precision six-circle diffractometer is available (HUBER). It has two pairs of theta - 2theta circles for both vertical and horizontal geometries of scattering. The angular resolution of the theta circles is 0.87 μrad. In addition, it is equipped with a large Eulerian cradle. The cradle is specially adopted to carry cryostats, etc.

Several smaller goniometers are also available. With their help more complicated diffraction schemes can be arranged. For instance, the diffraction from a sample is provided with a small up-stream goniometer, whereas the diffractometer serves as the analyzer of the diffracted beam. For this option the diffractometer is equipped with motorized horizontal and vertical translations.
