The Bruker D8 General Area Detector Diffraction System (GADDS) is a unique system that uses a 2D area detector and small, point-focus X-ray beam to enable the study of materials that are textured, large-grained, or under residual stress. The GADDS can also be used to collect single-crystal diffraction data sufficient for orientation/unit cell determination, or for collecting small-angle/wide-angle X-ray scattering data (SAXS/WAXS).
- Cobalt X-ray source which eliminates iron or cobalt X-ray fluorescence observed with copper X-rays.
- Horizontal circle 2θ/θ goniometer
- 6-axis (χ-cradle) sample stage for precise 3D sample alignment
- Exchangeable collimator tubes for variable beam size (800 – 50 μm)
- Oxford Cryosystems Cryostream 700 for in situ cooling (293 – 90 K)
- Anton Paar DHS 900 domed heating stage for in situ heating (25 – 900 °C)
- Collimator-mounted beam stop for SAXS/WAXS measurements
- X-ray Source: Sealed tube: copper target
- Detectors: Vantec-2000 2D area detector
