What it is

The Bruker D6 PHASER is a benchtop X-ray diffractometer platform. The D6 PHASER is used for powder diffraction, thin film analysis by grazing incidence diffraction and reflectometry, and bulk sample stress and texture analysis.[1]

How it works

The D6 PHASER uses X-ray diffraction in reflection and transmission geometry. The platform supports powder diffraction, grazing-incidence diffraction, reflectometry, stress analysis, texture analysis, and non-ambient or operando measurements.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The D6 PHASER fits in the analytical metrology and inspection part of a process flow. The instrument is used after sample preparation to verify crystalline phases, assess thin films, and measure stress or texture before materials move to downstream device or product evaluation.

Applications

The D6 PHASER is used for powder diffraction, materials research, thin film analysis, and bulk sample stress and texture analysis. The platform also supports PDF analysis and non-ambient and operando battery cell diffraction.[1][3]

The D6 PHASER battery research configuration is used to study phase transitions, lattice parameter variations, and other crystallographic transformations within electrodes during cycling. The platform supports reflection mode electrochemical cell measurements and transmission mode pouch cell measurements.[3]
