The X-ray diffraction Lab provides equipment for using X-ray diffraction applications to study 3-D atomic structure and other characteristics for a wide range of materials (single crystals (small molecules), thin films, powder).
A brand new small molecule crystallographic instrument was installed in Nov 2003. The "Smart Apex CCD Area Detector System" developed and made by Bruker Axs Inc. is the new generation of the x-ray diffraction equipment. It is equipped with a SMART APEX CCD Area Detector, a Fine Focus sealed X-ray tube using Mo-K(alpha) radiation, a MonoCap collimator for increased X-ray beam intensity, and an Oxford Cryostream device to allow data collection at temperatures as low as -173 C. Also available is the Enraf-Nonius CAD-4 Turbo Diffractometer.
