Experimental Setup for Synchrotron Studies of Materials under External Magnetic Fields

A specialized experimental setup has been designed and manufactured for X-ray diffraction studies under external magnetic fields on the sample. The setup includes a set of precision automated electromechanical drives, which enable orientation of the permanent magnet-based magnetic system along various crystallographic directions of the studied sample. The system provides automated variation in the strength and direction of external magnetic field during the experiment. The setup is compatible with blower-type heating attachments, allowing for research in a wide temperature range. The specified performance of the setup and its high parameter stability have been validated through a series of experiments on X-ray scattering near absorption edges using iron borate single crystals.
