Activities

The X-Gamma competence center operates a platform dedicated to material characterization using X and Gamma rays.

It characterizes materials by diffusion (SAXS), diffraction (XRD), Fluorescence (XRF) X ray tomography and Mossbauer spectroscopy.

All these characterization technics are developed in relation with the IJL’s research topics.

The X-Gamma competence center bears the Materalia competitiveness cluster quality label.

Our services

Contenu

The X-Gamma competence center is particularly well equipped to:

  • Determine the phase in a sample, qualitatively and quantitatively in all powder or bulk sample
  • Determine the residual stress/textures in bulk or thin film sample
  • Solve the crystal structure based on single crystal data and on powder data
  • Measure the reactivity of a sample depending on the temperature under all kind of oxydo-reductive atmosphere
  • Determine the thickness of thin film by X-ray reflectometry
  • Determine precisely the chemical compostion by X-ray fluorescence
  • Train in material characterization techniques(measurements and data processing using specific softwares)
