A Huber 6-circle diffractometer is available for high-resolution x-ray scattering research. The six spectrometer degrees of freedom are (q, C, f) for the sample, and (2-q, q-analyzer, q-analyzer) for the detector. Because of high demand, research is confined to problems that can only be addressed with this unique facility. Typical programs involve intrinsically weak scattering systems, such as two-dimensional arrays and high-resolution 3-D problems.

Spectroscopy: Ge array detector, LHe cryostat, ion chambers, PIPS detector, optics rail

Instrumentation for continous-scanning, large aperture (50-100mm) XAS imaging.
DATA ACQUISITION AND ANALYSIS: Diffractometer Control Software: SUPER
Data Acquisition Spectroscopy: XAS-Collect

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The BL10-2 front hutch has a multipurpose setup where users can install specialized equipment for experiments like tomography, in-situ welding equipment for metallurgical studies, high pressure cells for materials studies and equipment for nanomaterials applications. Instrumentation for x-ray absorption spectroscopy and XAS imaging is provided. The rear hutch has a dedicated 6-circle diffractometer that is used for materials scattering and biological applications.
Sample Preparation Labs: The SSRL Structural Molecular Biology (SMB) Sample Preparation Laboratories are available to users by prearrangement. To use a laboratory, users must complete laboratory training, and provide a list of all chemicals to be brought, used or stored in the Sample Preparation Laboratory. For details, contact Cynthia Patty (650-926-3925).
