From January 2013 a new 6-circle HUBER diffractometer is available at the first experimental hutch of P10 beamline.

General aspects

All the technical details concerning the diffractometer can be found visiting the following link of HUBER web-site:

http://www.xhuber.de/1853--~en~Products~diffractometers~xray~single_crystal~5021~5021.html



Circles movements

In principle the whole Ewald’s sphere of a single crystal can be investigated moving the motors corresponding to the 6-circles of the diffractometer.

In order to work with the Tango diffractometer server an alias name has been assigned to each rotation motor as indicated in the following table:


nAliassMotor nameNoteHL switchesSL switchesHome position
1del (2theta_v)  δe1_mot66(+) left-5º : +160º-5º : 100º1.19
2gam (2theta_h) γe1_mot65(+)-20º : +160º-19.5º : +159.5º0.856
3om (theta_v)       ωe1_mot54(+) left-11.6º : +180º-11º : +180º0
4mu (theta_h)μe1_mot56(+) -26º : +26º0
5chiζe1_mot57(+)-60.06 : +171º-60 : +171º90
6phiφe1_mot63(-)(o) left ±180º 


Additional info:

  1. The chi axis is positioned at 90 degree in its normal resting position.
  2. The axes "del",  "om" and "phi" have the same rotation sense and share a common rotation axis for theta_h = 0.0 and chi = 0.0 !

Cryostat movements

A liquid-Helium cryostat will be available in sharing with the beamline P09 that is equipped with same diffractometer. It is possible to move sample in cryostat using the following motors:

Single Crystal Diffraction procedures

To have a theoretical reference about orientation matrix and peak search routines please give a look to the paper by You (H. You, J. Appl. Cryst. (1999), 32, 614-623) at the following link:

http://journals.iucr.org/j/issues/1999/04/00/hn0093/hn0093.pdf

Our 6-circle diffractometer is similar to the diffractometer described there but the naming of the axes is slightly different.

It follows this translation table:
