Xenocs Xeuss 3.0 SAXS/WAXS

This instrument supports the development of cutting-edge nanostructured materials that have keys features ranging in size from Angstroms to hundreds of nanometers. To enable in situ and in operando characterization of structural properties, this custom, automated Xenocs Xeuss 3.0 x-ray scattering system will enable high-throughput studies at a variety of length scales.

Specifications

Dynamic WAXS to SAXS and USAXS to enable probing of d-space lengths ranging from 2 Angstroms to 4.5 microns, with automated transitions between modes.

In situ and in operando studies using accessories for temperature control, tensile loading, UV/VIS in situ spectroscopy, and dynamic sample dilution.
Customizable workspace can be modified to incorporate experimental stimulation such as magnetic fields and laser excitation.
Both Cu and Mo sources:copper in Rigaku rotating anode source and molybdenum in secondary Genix source.
- Copper enables high flux investigations of both liquid and solid phase materials.
- Molybdenum secondary source allows investigations of thick samples (>4mm) as well as high-Z materials and packaged samples.
