The q/q goniometer system, TTRAX, is the world's first diffraction system specifically designed to incorporate the 18 kW rotating anode X-ray high power X-ray generator into the q/q configuration. With this system, the sample surface is always maintained horizontal while the rotating anode X-ray source and the detector each move in q/q rotations about the sample. Thus, the system permits measurement of free liquid surfaces of materials including room temperature liquids and substances in their molten state (by heating in a high temperature attachment).
The TTRAX goniometer system may be used effectively for measurement of radial distribution functions of liquids and molten materials, for measurement of the crystal structure of surface boundaries, and for the studies of the crystal structure transformations in materials during high temperature heating. Standard powder X-ray diffraction is simplified significantly by minimizing sample preparation. Various types of detectors can be utilized by the instrument, depending on the needs of the specific analysis. The optimum detector can be selected from a scintillation counter (SC), a Peltier cooled semiconductor, solid-state detector (SSD), a curved 120° position sensitive detector (Inel PSD), or an imaging plate system. In addition, variety of X-ray diffractometer attachments are available.
Features and benefits include:
-
A special X-ray diffractometer system where the 18 kW high-power anode X-ray source is directly coupled to the theta/theta goniometer.
-
Increased load endurance and improved precision by the highly rigid wire bearings
-
Free liquid surfaces of materials can be measured in a shorter time than with the conventional system
-
Minimal support of the sample, which always remains stationary, leaves ample room around it allowing mounting of various large stages
-
Different types of detectors can be used selectively in order to meet diversified research requirements.
