Used Rigaku X - Ray Diffractometer (XRD)

Product Details

00001. Function and Application

X - ray diffraction (XRD) is a crucial non - destructive technique for analyzing various materials, including fluids, powders, and crystals. It is extensively used in materials characterization and quality control across different fields such as research, production, and engineering.

In materials research, XRD helps in identifying the precise atomic structures and crystalline phases within a sample substance. This enables researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the material's properties.

00001. Technical Principles

00002. 

The Bragg equation, is fundamental to XRD. Here, is an integer, is the characteristic wavelength of the X - rays incident on the crystalline sample, is the inter - planar spacing between rows of atoms, and is the angle of the X - ray beam with respect to these planes.

In a basic XRD experiment, a set of diffracted intensities and the angles at which they are observed are obtained. This diffraction pattern is like a chemical fingerprint. Chemical identification can be carried out by comparing this pattern with a database of known patterns.

Typical Models and Their Features

Rigaku SmartLab X - Ray Diffractometer:

Power and Input: It operates on 20 VAC 3? 60A 50/60 Hz.

Performance and Function: It is a powerful X - ray equipment. At its core is a highly sensitive and versatile X - ray source, which provides fast acquisition speed, high resolution, and high sensitivity for precise sample orientation. Its electronics, optics, and software enable excellent performance in both low and high angular range measurements. This gives it an edge over conventional systems when analyzing complex materials.

Applications: It can be used for a wide range of applications, such as measuring atomic lattice parameters, determining the phases present in a sample, diffraction pattern analysis, and analyzing crystallite sizes. The structure, orientation, and texture of the sample can be determined in a single experiment. It also has an automated platform and a high - quality sample environment, ensuring a safe and stable atmosphere for sample analysis. The user - friendly interface allows researchers to easily access all its features, and it comes with a comprehensive suite of tools for data manipulation to generate reports and 3D visualizations of the results.

Rigaku RINT 2200 Ultima: Some models may come with included tubes and a strain measurement attachment (RINT 2631) for Cu, Cr, Co. This model is suitable for applications where strain measurement in samples related to these elements is required.

Rigaku MiniFlex 600 X - Ray Powder Diffractometer: This model may be equipped with an 8 - position automatic sample changer, a Haskris chiller, and a D/TEX detector (in the case of the 2017 model). The automatic sample changer allows for efficient analysis of multiple samples, while the chiller helps in maintaining optimal temperature conditions for the equipment, and the detector is designed to accurately detect the diffracted X - rays.

Condition of Used Products

The condition of used Rigaku XRDs can vary. Some may be in excellent condition, having been well - maintained by previous users. They may have undergone regular calibration and servicing to ensure accurate performance. Others may show some signs of wear but still be fully functional. It is important to check the usage history, maintenance records (if available), and perform a thorough inspection or testing before purchase to ensure that the equipment meets your specific requirements.
