Specifications include, but are not limited to: o The X-ray generator utilized within the system must be rated for 3 kW output, include its own chiller and safety systems, and must be fully compatible with goniometer configurations. It must have at least 3.0 kW output power, a max voltage of at least 60 kV, and a max current of at least 60 mA. Additionally, it must be capable of programmable automation for data collection of at least five (5) samples while unattended. o The system must be equipped with a vertical theta-theta goniometer with an upper measuring range of at least 160° (2Ɵ), and a step resolution no greater than one ten-thousandth of a degree (0.0001°). The goniometer must be compatible with key accessories for the system and include a reference standard sample. o Stages for both powder and bulk sample holders. o The system must be equipped with a detector capable of 0D, 1D and 2D scanning and detection modes, have no more than a 100x100μm pixel size, have an active area greater than 2500 mm2, and have at least one million (1x106) counts per second count rate. The detector must also have inherent noise reduction and minimal dead time between the readout of individual data points...
