Laboratory diffractometer-based XAFS spectrometer

The device has been developed to allow XAFS spectra of good quality to be o btained using conventional powder diffractometer. The device is based on th e mechanical system which synchronize the changes of curvature radius of be nt crystal-monochromator with the Bragg angle. Due to high resolution(1-10 eV depending on the wavelength) and photon flux only several hours are need ed to perform quality XAFS experiment. The device is easy to operate and ca n be successfully used both for XAFS investigations and for student's pract ice.
