XRD Micro Probe System is a probe station for in-situ XRD measurement in high temperature and high vacuum. Nextron's unique manual probe makes it possible to apply voltage or read current. This system is great for electric-field-induced phase transition in ferroelectric materials research, resistance analysis during PRAM phase change, ionbased battery analysis, etc.

Figure.D8 Bruker XRD set up
XRD chamber: Nextron XRD Micro Probe System
Sample: SrFe0.8Co0.2O0.5 on 001 SrTiO3
Beam line: Pohang Accelerator Laboratory 3D beam line
Measurement: Real-time XRD and resistance measurements in supply of N 2(2.5 hrs),
O2(6 hrs), and N2 (2.5 hrs) in sequence. Flow rate was 20 sccm.
Results: The lattice constant of SrFe0.8Co0.2O2.5 thin film
shifted
sequentially to 3.99 Å(N2), 3.90 Å(O2), and 4.00 Å(N2). Associated
resistance changes is observed due to topotactic transformations.
