Thin film diffraction

Beam line 11-3 is a fixed energy (E = 12.7 keV, λ = 0.9763 Å) wiggler side station dedicated to wide-angle X-ray scattering techniques (WAXS). The beam line specializes in grazing-incidence geometry measurements, but transmission geometry measurements are also available upon request. The high flux of the instrument paired with a Rayonix MX225 CCD area detector enables rapid data acquisition across variable q-ranges for in-situ/operando X-ray scattering measurements.

Beamline 2-1 is used for structural studies across a range of materials systems focused on powder diffraction and reflectivity. In addition to high throughput, high resolution diffraction data the beamline can accommodate highly customized in-situ and operando configurations. The beamline is frequently used to study electrochemical reactions, material response to variable temperatures or gas environments, and other user-defined setups.
