XRD Shimadzu XRD-6000

FACTS XRD room at N4.1 B4-10

X-ray diffractometer for polycrystalline materials

Powder, bulk and thin film samples.


The powder XRD configuration is in the Bragg-Brentano geometry and can be used for 2theta-theta scans. The thin film XRD configuration is in parallel geometry and can be used for GIXRD and 2theta-theta scan.
  • Cu-Kα radiation operated at 40 kV and 30 mA
  • Detector: 0D type,  Scintillation counter (Scintillator: NaI)
  • Kβ radiation is removed by a graphite monochromator located on the diffracted side 
  • HV/PHA: High voltage power supply 500 to 1200V
  • High speed and high precision vertical goniometer 
  • Powder XRD: theta-2theta scan mode
  • Thin film XRD: 2theta scan mode (fixed theta)
  • X-ray diffraction analysis of crystalline materials for phase ID, quantification, micro-structure analysis and crystal structure refinement/determination
