OPAL Sample Environment Survey

As part of the federal government's 2009-2010 budget significant money has been assigned to the Bragg Institute. A part of this $37M is to be used for purchasing expensive Sample Environment equipment. Surveys of ANBUG in early 2006 and late 2007 have helped us choose which pieces of equipment to focus on. We are now asking for the user community to again make suggestions on the best types of equipment for the Bragg Institute to purchase. At the end is space for your suggestions. Please complete the survey by 10 July 2009.

Please complete the following

Sample environment

After considering the list of sample environment equipment which is already available, and the list below of equipment soon to become available, please indicate which of the sample environment equipment under consideration you would be interested in using, and then add any other desired sample environment equipment in the text area.

Sample environment equipment already in commissioning:

  • In-situ reaction chamber (1500C to 20C)
  • High pressure cell for SANS (300MPa)
  • Paris-Edinburgh high pressure cell high temp (300K-1200K)
  • Paris-Edinburgh high pressure cell low temp (30K-300K)
  • Gas mixer controller
  • 20 Ton BST uniaxial rig
  • Shear cell rheometer
  • Rapid sample Quencher (1200C-20C)
  • Differential Scanning Calorimetry
  • Cryostream - liquid nitrogen crystal cooler 80K-490K
  • Temperature control box accurate to the milliKelvin range
  • 10 position sample changer for SANS (300C-20C)
