HS-LEIS: High Sensitivity Low Energy Ion Scattering
Qtac100 from IonTof.  A variety of probe ions, sample preparation conditions, and depth profiling are available for compositional analysis of the outermost atomic layer and depth (nm scale) of materials.  Available for internal and external/industrial users.  Contact Henry Luftman, hsl212 at lehigh.edu

HS-LEIS: High Sensitivity Low Energy Ion Scattering

 

XPS: Scienta X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer
More info soon.  Available for internal and external/industrial users.  Contact Henry Luftman, hsl212 at lehigh.edu

 

XRD: Panalytical Empyrean X-Ray Diffraction System 
Purchased in 2016, a highly versatile diffraction tool capable of measuring powders, bulk solids, and thin films. Available for internal and external/industrial users.  Three incident beam optics include a Bragg Brentano HD mirror, a hybrid 2-bounce Ge monochromator, and a fixed slit holder.  Diffracted beam optics include a fixed slit holder and parallel plate collimator (for grazing incidence XRD, GiXRD, and X-ray reflectivity, XRR).  Pixel 3D area detector enables ultrafast measurements.  DHS 1100 heated stage enables in situ heating up to 1100 °C in an inert atmosphere, air, or vacuum.  Several software packages are available including Highscore (powder analysis), Epitaxy, and Stress.  Files for Lehigh Users HERE.
