Software for HUBER-5042 diffractometer with Displex DE-202 helium cryostat

Abstract

A software for structural studies on a Huber-5042 diffractometer with a point detector and closedcycle Displex DE-202 helium cryostat has been developed. The software package includes programs for the preliminary stage of experiment, planning, data collection, profile analysis of reflections, etc. The measurement of reflections in the 2θ angular range from 0° to 152° is provided, which is unique for Eulerian goniometers. Tools for enhancing data collection are demonstrated. Accurate experimental data are obtained for a test CaF 2 crystal (sp. gr., Z = 4, resolution sinθ/λ max ≈ 1.354 Å -1 , 121 reflections, 16 parameters in refinement, R/wR = 0.31/0.34%, Δρ min /Δρ max = -0.08/+0.07 e/Å 3 ).

“…The sample #1 was also used for the data collection at 50 K on a Huber 5042 diffractometer equipped with a pointed detector and a helium closed-cycle cryostat Displex DE-202. Although we studied before the structure of LuB 12 at 50 K [19], methods of the sample preparation and data collection on the Huber diffractometer were enriched with new details, so the new crystal #1 was measured using advanced techniques [15,20,21].…”
