• Suitable for most laboratory based x-ray diffractometers and synchrotron sources

  • For example*: Bruker D8, Rigaku SmartLab, Pan​Analytical Empyrean and X'Pert

• Mechanical strain and electrical polarisation measurements in situ

• Applied voltages +/- 5 kV

  • Silicon oil can be used in horizontal geometry to increase achievable field

• Sample diameters of 7 mm to 12 mm

• Sample thicknesses of 0.1 mm to 2 mm

• Temperature range from room temperature to 200°C

• Large scattering angle range, including grazing incidence angles

• Compact system design for maximum portability and versatility

• Interlock system for voltage application only when cell is closed

*Instruments for suitable use depend on configurations.  Please discuss with our contact staff to understand if your system is suitable.

Critus electric field cells are designed for optimal portability.  The entire Reflection Geometry system is packaged into a single head unit for incorporating into existing XRD equipment, a control unit and a high voltage amplifier.  The recommended amplifier is the Trek 10/10B-HS, although custom cabling for alternative amplifiers may be possible on request.
