This manual and the manual of the supplier contain general information and guidelines about the Bruker AXS instruments, which have to be observed to ensure personal safety, as well as to protect the product. These notices are highlighted in this manual by the warn- ing symbols and are marked as follows according to the level of danger.
The primary installation, maintenance and repair of the temperature chamber must be car- ried out only by personnel who are authorized by Bruker AXS. All repairs, adjustments and alignments performed at any component of the system...
Correct function of the instrument The instrument can only function correctly and safely if it is transported, stored, setup, and installed correctly, and if it is operated and maintained as recommended by Bruker AXS and the manufacturer of the temperature chamber.
Page 16
Safety Guidelines CAUTION Extremely hot and cold surfaces from -190 °C to 2300 °C on internal components Risk of severe burns when touching the surfaces. u Turn off the device and wait until components have cooled down! u Do not touch the sample holder or internal shieldings before ambient conditions are reached Some temperature chambers need liquid Nitrogen (LN ) for operation.
Page 17
Safety Guidelines WARNING Beryllium Beryllium is carcinogenic and causes diseases of the skin, splenic, liver and lungs. u Never touch, inhale or incorporate fumes, dust or pieces of beryllium. u Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). u Do not touch any part of the instrument which contains beryllium, e.g. X-ray tube radiation outlet window, the detector front window or the heating chamber windows of some systems.
Safety Guidelines Signage The following symbols and information signs can be found or displayed on the instrument. They refer to their immediate surroundings. Strictly obey all instructions and warning text printed on the labels which are attached to the various parts of the equipment. Symbol Meaning of the Symbol Danger of freezing or burning due to hot...
• Heating / cooling devices can be roughly divided into two groups: direct heaters and environmental heaters. • Anton Paar chambers cover the range from RT up to 2300 °C for heating systems. • Additional cooling increases the range down to –193 °C.
General Remarks Some features of environmental heaters are: • Convection (at lower temperatures without vacuum) and radiation heating (at high temperatures or under vacuum) are used. • A crucible can be used to hold the sample. • Different chemically inert sample holders are provided. •...
General Remarks 2.2.2 Temperature Calibration The temperature sensor used for controlling can indicate a wrong value for the sample, because the position of the sensor differs from the sample position. Another reason is the reduced contact of the sample and the sample holder. These effects are increasing for ex- treme temperatures.
General Remarks The accuracy of temperature determination with MgO is ± 20 °C below 500 °C, ± 30 °C up to 1000 °C and less than ± 40 °C up to 1400 °C. (0.001 Å change in lattice parameter cor- responds to a temperature change of 17 °C). Table 2.1: Reflections of MgO (a = 4.2112 Å), CuK -rad.
General Remarks 2.2.2.1.2 Shortened Procedure for Temperature Determination Put a small amount of MgO on the heater or the sample holder. Start a scan for the reflec- tion (422) at about 126 °C. The program DIFFRAC.EVA [2] allows the determination of the peak position (λ=1.5405 Å) and the d-value d and the lattice constant with a =√24*d...

Vacuum Equipment Figure 3.3: Mounting the Edwards backing-pump to the flexible vacuum line Connecting the cables to the TIC controller and the relays box An extension has to be connected between the TIC controller and the turbo pump and feed through the labyrinth of the D8 radiation safety enclosure, see next 2 pictures. Fur- ther connections are the interface cable for the WRG (wide range gauge) and the vent valve (which has to be installed in the TMP body).
Vacuum Equipment 3.1.2 Operation of the Edwards High Vacuum Stage Five soft keys on the Turbo Instrument controller (TIC) front are used to control and pro- gram the TIC. In the figure below the starting screen is shown and the soft keys are de- scribed, programming is expected to be done.
Installation of the Edwards Backing-Pump Some applications only require a vacuum of about 10 mbar. Therefore a backing-pump is sufficient. Bruker AXS offers the Edwards backing pump with 12 m /h (might be smaller in actual systems) intake volume. Figure 3.6: Vacuum sensor, flooding valve, tube to chamber and mist-filter mounted...
Vacuum Equipment It is connected to the chamber with DN25KF flexible metal hoses and equipped with a vacuum sensor and a manually operated flooding valve. The mist filter absorbs accessing oil. The vacuum indicating instrument can be placed in - or outside the D8 enclosure. 1.
Adjustment of a Chamber on the D8 Adjustment of a Chamber on the The Anton Paar chamber has to be installed on the goniometer as described in chapter 5 and onward. This chapter discusses general alignment procedures. For chamber specific details, we refer to the chapter discussing the chamber of interest.
4. Fix the adapter to the goniometer. Alignment Then proceed as following (see your Anton Paar Manual for chamber specifics): 1. Insert absorbers to ensure a count rate of <10 kcps in the direct beam. Open the receiving slit of the detector (0D-detector) or use all strips of the LYNXEYE detector in 0D mode.

Adjustment of a Chamber on the D8 Height check u If you have a motorized Z-stage, proceed as follows for height check: 1. Perform a scan of the Z-motor and move the chamber to the position of maximum intensity. u If you do not have a motorized Z-stage, proceed as follows for height check: 1.
Adjustment of a Chamber on the D8 Figure 4.1: Rocking curve to check chamber rotation error The alignment of the rotation of the chamber may be done either by physically rotating the chamber body or by introducing a sofware offset. See the 2 following subchapters Rotation alignment by physical adjustment of the chamber 1.

Repeat steps Performing a rocking curve and Physical adjustment of the chamber rotation iteratively until the angular offset is 0° ± 0.05° (see figure above). 4. Repeat the step Height check for a final height check. The scans might look different and a change in the parameters can be necessary due to different slit sizes or small differences between temperature chambers.

Adjustment of a Chamber on the D8 4.1.3 Using Automated Height Correction If your alignment stage is equipped with a motorized Z-translation, the chamber height can be automatically corrected for e.g. thermal expansion of the sample holder. This requires a determination of chamber height for a number of temperatures by the procedure de- scribed in chapter Alternative Procedure Without Alignment Slit [} 40].

Installation and Operation of the DCS 350 and DHS 1100 Chambers 4. Insert a new temperature (°C) and a ramp rate (°C/s) in the according fields, use mode Set Temperature with Rate (the mode Set Temperature does NOT allow to use a ramp rate but reaches the next temperature as fast as possible, which risks uncontrolled heating and overshoot).
Installation and Operation of the DCS 350 and DHS 1100 Chambers 1. If this works successfully, you can start automatic measurements as described in your temperature controller manual and in the manuals for DIFFRAC.SUITE [4] and WIZARD [5]. 2. Check box to wait for temperature reached before starting the scan. Without temperature dependent height correction, peak positions might be wrong for temperature >25 °C (alignment temperature).
Installation and Operation of the DCS 350 and DHS 1100 Chambers u Make sure that the diffractometer in the setup that will be used for the non-ambient measurements is well aligned. 1.

Installation and Operation of the DCS 350 and DHS 1100 Chambers 8.6.2 Optimizing Theta, Two Theta and Psi Alignment of additional motor positions (Psi, Theta, Two Theta, etc.) can make sense for e.g. single crystal heating or cooling experiments. Pre-alignment of the sample is necessary before starting the experiment. Further opti- mizations can then be performed automatically by the software at each temperature if the aligned positions are transferred to or edited in the WIZARD in HR-XRD mode.

Introduction The Benchtop Heating Stages BTS 150 and BTS 500 are the smallest XRD non-ambient stages available from Anton Paar and are designed for use in small spaces and ease-of- use. The BTS 500 uses a resistance heater to operate in the temperature range between room temperature and 500 °C.

Installation and Operation of the BTS 150 and BTS 500 Chambers USB Connection of the BTS 150/500 to the CPU1 Board As the BTS series chambers do not have external controllers, the only thing that has to be done is to connect the USB cable to the USB port in the CPU1 board of the diffractometer housing.
