Low-Temperature Chamber: TTK 600
The TTK 600 Low-Temperature Chamber is a non-ambient attachment for powder X-ray diffraction studies from -190°C to 600°C. Different sample holders allow investigating samples in reflection and transmission geometry. Samples can be measured in vacuum, air or inert gases. An antechamber option allows safe transfer of air-sensitive samples into the TTK 600.
The TTK 600 fits to all common powder diffractometers and is the instrument of choice for X-ray structure analysis of various sample types at low and medium temperatures.
Key features
Fast and accurate temperature control
- Liquid nitrogen cooling to -190°C or compressed air cooling to -10°C
- Resistance heating for rapid heating up to 600°C
- Pt100 close to the sample for precise temperature measurement
- Flexible liquid nitrogen hoses for movability even at -190°C
- Improved heat transfer from heater to sample holder. Additional convection heating for the capillary sample holder and the transmission sample holder for reduced temperature deviation
Optimized for maximum sample flexibility
- Various types of sample holders:
- Standard sample holder for the investigation of powders in reflection geometry (different depths available)
- Capillary sample holder for the investigation of powders in transmission geometry
- Transmission sample holder for the investigation of foils, pastes and powders in transmission mode
- Zero background holder for transparent samples
- Integrated beam knife to minimize background at low 2θ
- Easy exchange and mounting of samples
