The Siemens D 5000 is a fully automated x-ray diffractometer that features a versatile goniometer design capable of operating in horizontal or vertical mode for reflection or transmission measurements. The Siemens D 5000 can convert from theta:2theta geometry to theta:theta geometry and to parallel beam. Detector configurations for the Siemens D 5000 include a position sensitive detector (PSD), a solid-state detector, and a standard scintillation counter.[1]
What it is
The Siemens D 5000 is an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) used in materials analysis and metrology. The Siemens D 5000 features a new goniometer design manufactured to the strictest tolerances. The D 5000 is designed to meet requirements for X-ray diffraction applications with precision and flexibility.[1][2]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedX-ray diffractometers work by directing a beam of X-rays at a sample and measuring the angles and intensities of the diffracted X-rays to determine the sample's crystalline structure, phase composition, and other material properties.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedX-ray diffractometers such as the D 5000 are used in analytical laboratories and materials science research facilities, often in quality control or failure analysis roles. The D 5000 can be employed to characterize raw materials, finished products, or process intermediates in industries such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials.
Applications
The D 5000 supports a range of X-ray diffraction applications including texture analysis using a Eulerian cradle, stress measurement, and high- or low-temperature studies with dedicated stages. Attachments for the D 5000 include: Eulerian cradle for texture, open Eulerian cradle for texture/stress, automatic sample changer, high and low temperature stages, and programmable sample rotation. The D 5000 is available with computer controlled variable aperture slits in incident and diffracted beam paths to control divergence and reduce background.[1]
