Rigaku 5-circle multi-configuration diffractometer with rotating anode "Smartlab" - © INSP - Cécile Duflot
This platform aims to meet the needs of research teams concerning the x-ray characterization and analysis of materials. It concerns thin films (mainly) and powders.
It is used for out-of-plane diffraction of thin films and powder: reflectivity, theta/2theta, etc. It is mainly configured in point beam mode, a mode suitable for the study of film texture by pole figures.
The department has two diffractometers :
