Services offered

The X-ray platform provides access to several material research, single crystal and powder X-ray diffractometers. After successful training most of the instruments can be used in self-service mode, but service measurements by the platform staff are also offered.

Crystallography related databases are made available as local installations or via Web interfaces.

Requests for help with data evaluation, publication writing or general crystallographic consultancy are welcome.

The X-ray platform services are offered to D-MATL members, but external users within or outside the ETH domain are also welcome. Special rules may apply.
