Overview of Sector 16
Technical Notes
16-IDB
High-pressure x-ray diffraction in diamond anvil cells with microfocused x-ray beam. Two independent experimental configurations including one for in situ laser heating general purpose applications. (Currently operational and accepting users)
16-BMB
Paris-Edinburgh press large volume station dedicated to white beam x-ray diffraction, radiography imaging, and macroscopic property determination of materials under high pressure and temperature. Especially suited for non-crystalline materials including high-temperature melts, as well as for multi-modal measurements to determine structure-property relationships. (Currently operational and accepting users)
Multi-angle energy-dispersive x-ray diffraction
Ultrasonic elastic wave velocity measurement
16-BMD
High-pressure X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and X-ray transmission computed tomography. (Currently in commissioning and accepting users)
Micro-focused white beam Laue diffraction
16-IDD
Established setups for high-pressure inelastic x-ray scattering (1-2 eV resolution) and x-ray emission spectroscopy. (Currently in commissioning and open to users)
X-ray Raman and Inelastic X-Ray Scattering
