High Temperature X-Ray Diffraction in Transmission Under Controlled Environment

MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

A compact tube furnace has been developed for high temperature X-ray diffraction studies using high energy synchrotron radiation. The furnace design has a low absorption path in transmission yet allows for a high degree of control of the sample atmosphere and a minimal temperature gradient across the sample. The design allows for a maximum temperature of 1500°C with a variety of atmospheres including inert, reducing, and oxidizing. Preliminary results obtained at the SRI-CAT I-ID undulator line (60keV) at the APS facility and the A2 24 pole wiggler line (45keV) at CHESS on the Ti5Si3Z5 (Z = C, N, O) system will be presented to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach.
