BulletInstallation of an IµS

In December 2009 a group headed by Dr. Pierre Bordet at the CNRS Institut Néel, Grenoble received the Ag-IµS. A team of engineers and scientists from Bruker AXS SAS France and Incoatec GmbH installed the high brilliant Microfocus Source at the Institut Néel. For more information click here.

 

Latest results have been published in the following publication.

IµS for Ag radiation

The Microfocus X-ray Source for Short Wavelength Radiation

The IμS for Ag radiation delivers a focused beam with a FWHM of 0.08 mm and a divergence of 5 mrad. With a peak flux density of more than 2 x 109 photons/(s mm2), the diffracted intensity is about 3 times higher than that of a 1.5 kW Ag sealed tube system with a graphite monochromator.


The advantages of Ag radiation are the reduced absorption and extinction, and the ?compression" of the reciprocal space. Thus, data are less biased by absorption and extinction, and access to a larger range of d-spacings at a fixed 2θ setting is gained. This is beneficial for high resolution diffraction experiments, such as studies on strongly absorbing inorganic solid state compounds or charge density measurements, and for high-pressure crystallography on single crystals and powder samples.
