We are in search of a Powder X-ray diffractometer with integrated gas/vapour sorption capabilities, to be housed in the Bernal Institute of the University of Limerick. The in situ powder x-ray diffraction suite will advance the current research capabilities of the Bernal Institute, enabling high quality research output. It is envisaged that this will be a powerful tool to understand structure-property relationships and will play a key role in the discovery and development of advanced materials e.g. to further study sorption properties of materials and how gas and/or vapour sorption affects the structure of these materials.
