German Engineering Materials Science Centre (GEMS)

The High Energy Materials Science Beamline HEMS at PETRA III enables diffraction and microtomography studies in the energy range of 30 up to 200 keV.

Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon takes active part in the PETRA III project by operating and funding the Imaging Beam Line (IBL). This beamline is optimized for micro and nano tomography applications. more

The P61 A - Beamline for White Beam Engineering Materials Science (WINE) is designed for the combination of Energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction (ED-XRD), Angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction (AD-XRD) and Imaging techniques (radiography/absorption contrast). more

The Nanofocus endstation at DESY beamline P03 is dedicated to scanning X-ray nanodiffraction experiments which provide structural information with sub-µm resolution from crystalline and semi-crystalline materials, e.g. metals, biomaterials, synthetic compounds.

The small-angle scattering instrument SANS-1 at FRM II was designed and built by Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon in co-operation with Technische Universität München.

REFSANS has been designed as a reflectometer for measuring both specular reflectivity and evanescing small-angle neutron scattering from solid samples as well as from the air-liquid interface.

Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon contribute with their texture competence to the operation of STRESS-SPEC at the FRM II together with the Technischen Universität München (TUM).
