Bruker D2 Phaser Benchtop Powder Diffractometer 

The diffractometer and software are optimized for X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The diffractometer emits Cu Kα1,2 radiation with an X-ray generator that operates at 10 mA and 30 kV. The high energy resolution detector is ideal for removing fluorescence (e.g. from samples containing Fe, Mn, Co, etc.). Measurements can only be done in Bragg-Brentano (reflection) geometry at room temperature. 

Main components:

  • Cu Kα radiation
  • LYNXEYE XE-T detector
  • Manual sample loading (1 at a time)
  • Fixed slits

Options

  • Beam knife for removal of air scattering (two heights)

Sample holders

  • zero-background silicon plate holders (defualt)
  • PMMA well holders
  • back-loaded well holders

Software

  • DIFFRAC.SUITE (data collection)
  • DIFFRAC.EVA (data processing)
