A wide range of sample environments can be provided for the first experimental hutch, along with supplementary detectors and additional equipment to enhance your experiment.
A range of controlled atmosphere environments are available, different sizes with heaters and UV lamp if required.
Several solid-liquid cells are available on the beamline including:
We are also happy to advise on alternative user supplied cell designs.
The beamline has both Ivium (CompactStat) and Princeton (VersaSTAT 3F-400) potentiostats that are integrated with the beamline control software.
A linear stage can be mounted on top of the hexapod to allow multiple samples to be mounted simultaneously. A simple plate is provided for mounting samples but alternatively users can interface directly to the stage.
The stage can also be used in conjunction with small liquid troughs in DCD mode.
Maximum translation range | 400 mm |
Maximum load | 5 kg |
Mounting (subject to clearances) | 8 x M4 holes (see layout below) |
Temperature control on the beamline is normally via a Eurotherm controller. This is generally suitable for thermocouples and PT100 temperature sensors but precision is limited at extreme temperatures. The Eurotherm allows remote control of heaters and is fully integrated with the data acquisition system.
The standard power supply for heaters is 24V. Higher voltage power supplies may be available but please consult the beamline team for details.
Although I07 does not have its own cryostats & high pressure apparatus, it is possible to use equipment from other beamlines. Previous users have used a cryostat or a hydrostatic pressure rig from other beamlines. It is also possible to borrow other temperature controllers that allow for a more precise temperature measurement at cryogenic temperatures.
The beamline does stock a limited range of heaters and thermometers.
A Lauda circulating water bath/chiller is also available, and is controllable remotely.
A Vortex detector is available for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements. This is fully integrated into the data acquisition system for simultaneous measurement with X-ray diffraction. There are a range of mounting options, including mounting inside the enclosure used for liquid experiments.
