STATION 16.3
Engineering Strain Scanning and High Resolution Single Crystal Diffraction

Description

• high-resolution single-crystal diffraction
• engineering strain scanning in monochromatic or white-beam mode
• magnetic scattering

Technical Description

Station 16.3 is a high resolution facility situated on the centre of the 6 Tesla wiggler fan where it takes the highest energy radiation available on the SRS. The range of energies available at the Station is between 5-80keV.

Development

A single-bounce focusing Laue monochromator, operating between 45-75keV.

Proposed Development

• upgrade of the focusing monochromator to a tunable double-bounce system
• installation of a CCD detector

Benchmarks

The turn around time for individual experiments depends on the mode selected. However, a rough guide for a typical white-beam experiment for studying two samples would be two days which includes the setting-up time.

Monochromatic experiments can take longer (depending on the type and number of samples).
