Facilities Available

We have the world prototype stable (CE-certified) high-frequency 18 kW, 60 keV Rotating Anode source, specifically modified for flexible experiments in Physics. We have Australia's first Feinfocus 160 keV, 5 micron spot size fixed target X-ray source. We have a variety of general instrumentation but including a state-of-the-art curved crystal spectrometer and a state-of-the-art backgammon detector (developed here with cooperation and guidance from NIST). In other areas we continue to develop the x-ray optics lab, based on ARC Infrastructure Support and large ARC grants, and some smaller grants.
We are building / installing:
  • High Vacuum systems
  • A variety of specialised medium and soft x-ray sources
  • Monochromation and dispersion devices including Johann spectrometers and double-flat crystal mounts
  • A variety of detectors including X-ray CCD cameras and photographic detection
We are a part of the Optics Group, and have good computer facilities and access to other facilities here such as the microprobe MicroAnalytical Research Centre (MARC).
