BL-4C : X-ray diffraction experiment station for material structural science

Overview

Beamline group  Group 2 (Diffraction and Scattering)
Techniques
  • X-ray diffraction
  • Resonant X-ray scattering
  • Magnetic scattering
Features
  • This is an experimental station with general 4-circle diffractometer HUBER5020. We can detect a tiny of structural & electronic changes at a phase transition, which is an origin of the physical properties. Polarization analysis of scattered x-ray can be also performed.
Area of research
  • Material structural science
  • Condensed matter physics, Surface science
