AR-NE7A : X-ray Imaging and X-ray Diffraction Experiments at High Pressure

Overview

Beamline group Subcommittee 6 (X-ray Optics and Imaging / High Pressure Science)
Techniques

The upstream section in the experimental hutch is for general purpose. The downstream section is dedicated to high-pressure and high-temperature experiments.

Imaging
  • X-ray absorption-contrast imaging
  • X-ray fluorescence imaging
  • X-ray reflectivity
High pressure
  • X-ray diffraction
  • X-ray radiography
Features Imaging
  • User can setup their own optics and conduct various kinds of X-ray imaging experiments.
High pressure
  • Various types of in-situ measurements under high pressure and high temperature are feasible.
  • In addition to normal high-pressure and high-temperature experiments, high-pressure and high-temperature deformation experiments are feasible with D-DIA and D111 type modules.

Detectors Imaging
  • X-ray CCD camera
High pressure
  • Ge-SSD
  • Flat card detector (Dexela 2923)
  • Imaging plate (flat cassette type)
  • X-ray CCD camera

Special notes Imaging
  • Reservation is required for the use of an X-ray camera.
  • Please consult with the beamline staff in advance for bringing user’s own instruments in the experimental hutch.
High pressure
  • The standard pressurization method is the 6-8 type.
  • Users need to prepare high pressure cells by themselves.
  • The 2θ angle of the Ge-SSD is usually fixed at 6°. Please consult with the beamline staff if it is necessary to change this setting.
  • The high-pressure press is installed in the experimental hutch. If you wish to conduct experiments without the instrument (module) or to bring in other instruments, please consult with the beamline staff.
