The common
diffractometers could be modified to perform special studies. For such purposes the special sets of diffractometer attachments
are used. Today many diffractometer makers use the modular principle
in planning and design of instruments, such that various attachments
could be used easily, without need for major realignment.
Probably, the most important diffractometer attachment is an automatic
sample changer.
Automatic
Samples Changers: High volume powder diffraction laboratories commonly
use high capacity sample changers. The quantity of samples which can be
loaded for measurements in some systems reachs up to 40,
which is very convenient for overnight and weekend operations.
High and Low
Temperature Attachments: Ability to heat or cool the samples in situ is important
for understanding of phase stability, and for phase transition
studies. Several important systems are listed below:
Sample
positioning systems: Eulerian cradle or linear sample positioning
systems
Grazing
Incidence Diffraction: X-ray radiation has a large penetration depth
into any matter. Due to this property X-ray diffraction is not surface
sensitive by itself. Grazing Incidence Diffraction (GID) is the technique
to overcome this restriction. The measurements are performed at very low
incident angles to maximize the signal from the thin layers. This allows
depth profiling of the phase composition of layered samples.
