Rigaku Smartlab X-Ray Diffractometer
Rigaku SmartLab 9kW is a high-resolution X-ray diffractometer with a high-flux 9 kW rotating anode X-ray source coupled with a HyPix-3000 high-energy-resolution 2D multi-dimensional semiconductor detector that supports 0D, 1D and 2D measurement modes. The HyPix-3000 detector can be used to obtain 2D powder diffraction patterns, which can be processed to deliver superior qualitative analysis by using all of the 2D pattern information.The high-flux anode enables fast measurements and excellent signal with high resolution even for samples with low crystallinity. The system is ideal for thin film and powder measurements (capillary attachment). Measurement modes include XRR, 2D SAXS/WAXS, GID.
How to become a user
Booking Times and Charges
We charge a daily usage fee as a contribution to our maintenance and operating costs. The XRD can be booked in the following time units for the indicated costs:
- Half measurement day
- € 50
- 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
- Whole measurement day
- € 75
- 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
With the instruction of a new user, measuring time in the amount of €500 must be acquired, which can then be used as a credit either in half or full measuring days. If two users are instructed at once, measuring time for €750 has to be acquired.
Usage regulations
The user regulations of the device, as well as the superior general user regulations of the core facility, must be followed at all times. Changes are communicated to the users immediately.
Safety
Please read the Safety documents and follow them. If you have any questions contact the IMSEAM Staff
