High pressure diffraction beamline: Xpress
Welcome to Xpress!
|
Xpress is a dedicated high-pressure diffraction beamline, employing a monochromatic x-ray beam, 25 keV. This beamline originated from a partnership between Indian scientific community, administered through Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru and Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste. At Xpress, a PILATUS3 S 6M detector (from DECTRIS) is used to collect the diffraction pattern. Currently high-pressure diffraction experiments at ambient temperature could be performed using a variety of diamond anvil cells. Beam size available are 50 and 80 microns (diameter).Typical pressure range is 0-50 GPa. High-pressure diffraction measurements at variable temperature are also feasible (using a closed cycle He cryostat or high-temperature using resistive heating in a vacuum-chamber). Contact beamline team for information on experimental possiblities.
