Structure-guided Materials
The XRD laboratory is part of the Center for X-ray Analytics ("Röntgenhaus" on Empa's Dübendorf campus) and concentrates on the development and application of X-ray diffraction and scattering methods.
The SAXS laboratory is also part of the Center for X-ray Analytics and located at Empa St Gallen. The laboratory concentrates on the development and application of small angle diffractions and scattering methods. The lab is equipped with state-of-the art instruments for the different application domains.
The labs are equipped with state-of-the art instruments for the different application domains:
- BRUKER D8 Davinci
- BRUKER D8 Discovery
- STOE IPDS-II
- BRUKER NanoStar
- STOE IPDS 2T, Ag radiation
- PANalytical X'Pert Powder
- MOLMET (Molecular Metrology)
The team of the XRD Lab works on projects and delivers analytical development support for academia and industry.
