Angle Dispersive X-Ray Diffraction Beamline (BL-12)

Beamline overview

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a non-destructive and powerful technique for obtaining the structural information of materials. Despite the fact that conventional lab based x-ray sources are readily available , the synchrotron offers number of unmatched features. The combination of high brightness and vertical collimation of synchrotron radiation with the added advantage of broad range of wavelength tunability makes it brilliant choice for structural characterization of materials with a significant increase in data quality.

The angle dispersive x-ray diffraction (ADXRD) beamline (BL-12) of the Indus-2 synchrotron source is one of the important hard x-ray beamline which has been used by many researchers since its commissioning. At present, this beamline can be used for cutting edge research in the field of materials science to characterize the various technologically important materials including energy and electronic materials. The materials characterization is performed by carrying out

  1. powder and single crystal XRD
  2. anomalous diffraction at absorption edges
  3. grazing angle diffraction and reflectivity
  4. X-ray absorption and fluorescence measurement
  5. XRD at extreme conditions like low and high temperature and high pressure

These give information on phase identification, crystal structure, residual stress and texture analysis. Systems that can be investigated are: thin films, powders, ribbons, polycrystalline samples, single crystals etc.

Origin of natural and magnetic field induced polar order in orthorhombic PrFe1/2Cr1/2O3
Science Highlights
The anomalies in the lattice constant and Fe-O bond lengths as extracted from SXRD data, corresponding to spin-reorientation and magnetic ordering temperature region, suggest the presence of strong spin-lattice coupling.

Distorted octahedra induced anisotropic strain and local disorder in delafossite CuCrO2
Science Highlights
XRD analysis indicates that the distortion in CrO6 octahedra is giving rise to strain in the sample. This strain might be responsible for the observed nano regions, which possibly are polar in nature in an otherwise non-polar matrix. These Polar Regions are responsible for the presence of relaxor-type ferroelectricity in the sample.

Local Disorder Affecting NIR-Upconverting White Light Emission Manifests in Lattice Strain
Science Highlights
First experimental investigation in an attempt to understand how short-range disorder in Li+ doped β-NaYF4 crystals relates with lattice strain in pursuit of finding the most favorable condition for Laporte-forbidden f-f transition using high-energy XRD coupled with atomic PDF (Pair Distribution Function).

Compressibility and thermal expansion study of d-UZr2 at high pressures
Science Highlights
High-pressure study at ambient temperature on δ-UZr2 reveals that δ phase of UZr2 is stable up to 20 GPa and the bulk modulus is found to be 08.3 GPa at ambient temperature. Up to a pressure of 10 GPa, the c/a ratio was found to decrease slowly, after which the reduction rate increases sharply. It is attributed to the strengthening of U(1/3,2/3,1/2) - Zr(2/3,1/3,1/2) covalent bond along ‘a’ axis at higher pressures. DFT computation also reveals that the localization of charge density across the lattice which may lead to a drop in the metallization of the material
