Small and Wide Angle scattering equipment

Description

The University is seeking to purchase Small and Wide Angle X-Ray Scattering Equipment to be delivered no later than June 2024. Small and Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS/WAXS) Technique has an exceptional significance for the structural (e.g. nanostructural) characterization of the matter, because it can be employed under conditions where Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is not useful (i.e. under wet conditions, at various temperatures, and for real-time, time-resolved, high-throughput and in-situ experiments). Moreover, Angstrom range X-ray wavelength enables capturing of morphological information at molecular and nanoscale levels. A broad range of samples including powders, pastes, films and fibres can be studied, for which various sample holders e.g. capillary holder, paste cells, etc. are designed. In general, the 2-D images or 1-D patterns captured by specialized detector/s are analysed using designated software/s to identify phases/polymorphs, calculate lattice paramete
