The combination of the STADIVARI diffractometer and the new Excillum MetalJet F X-ray source sets a new benchmark for high-intensity laboratory X-ray diffraction, enabling faster measurements, improved data quality, and expanded analytical capabilities approaching synchrotron-level performance.

Crystallography of functional materials aims for explaining the observed functional properties based on the underlying structural features, ideally in in-operando or in-situ conditions. We present a laboratory single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) setup designed for the measurement of static and time-resolved XRD patterns as a function of temperature, light irradiation, pressure, and electric field. …

Learn how the ADAMAnT upgrade enhances the STOE STADI P diffractometer with automated beam alignment for improved powder diffraction data quality.

The investigation of spin states of metal centers within a complex remains a challenge to this day, despite improvements in model quality and sophistication. The new Integrate3D software allows the use of diffraction data to the fullest extend, allowing a much clearer distinction of residual density features left in a structure model (right, Integrate 3D) from noise introduced by the integration (left, X-Area integrate). Using Integrate3D we were able to measure in-house data that can indisputably distinguish two spin states of an iron center in Mohr’s salt-hexahydrate.

Absorption correction is today a highly automated process performed in the course of data reduction, on most diffractometer software suites directly after the measurement. In the utmost cases, this process is not handled with the required care, and by this considerable systematic errors can be introduced into the data sets. …
