PANalytical X'PERT PRO MRD System, 220V, model 3040/60, is manufactured by Malvern Instruments Ltd. The X'Pert Pro MRD (Materials Research Diffractometer) is suitable for the structural characterization in thin-films materials at room and high temperature. This diffractometer has a horizontal ω-2θ goniometer (320 mm radius) in a four-circle geometry and it works with a ceramic X-ray tube with Κα anode (λ=1.540 Å). This diffractometer is equipped with different incident and diffracted optics which can be interchanged depending on the application required (i.e. a parabolic mirror, a hybrid monochromator, a Ge(440) four-crystal monochromator, a parallel plate collimator, and a polycapillary lens). The detector used is a PIXcel which is a fast X-ray detector based on Medipix2 technology with a 256x256 pixels array.
