The Working Group
The Working Group for Physical Materials Diagnostics operates the "röntgenographisches Speziallabor" (specialist X-ray Lab). In addition, it focuses on several different methods of non-destructive diagnostics.
Short overview of the Working Group
The Working Group for Physical Materials Diagnostics operates the "röntgenographisches Speziallabor" (specialist X-ray Lab). Key activities are:
- Methods development in the area of X-ray micro-diffraction (also at the synchrotron)
- Functional materials of microelectronics
- Highly precise orientation determination of single crystals (KOSSEL technique)
- Determination of the lowest crystal symmetry reduction (KOSSEL technique)
- Highly precise determination of lattice constants and highly spatially resolved residual stress analysis III. Type (KOSSEL technique)
- Phase identification on the macro- and micro-scale
- Quality control of massive single crystals
- Orientation mapping and texture analysis on the macro- and micro-scale using EBSD
- Digital image processing in micro diffraction images
In addition, we offer imaging of "inner" material defects in compact specimens and components (X-ray and ultrasonic inspection). In the field of defectoscopy, we have devices for the location of surface defect and near-surface defects as well as endoscopic methods for the visual examination of areas with difficult access of compact components.
We are a member of SAWLab-Saxony.
