Empyrean Nano Edition - XRD
Versatile X-ray scattering platform
The Empyrean Nano edition is a hybrid laboratory X-ray scattering instrument. It uniquely enables for a variety of techniques for the structural characterization of (nano)materials on multiple length scales.
Main applications:
- SAXS and WAXS: Small-and wide-angle X-ray scattering
- Bio-SAXS: SAXS on biological macromolecules
- USAXS: Ultra small-angle X-ray scattering
- Total scattering: Atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis
Several other applications, such as powder diffraction, thin film analysis and CT can be added - also as later upgrades.
The high performance and flexibility of the instrument are driven by a high-resolution goniometer platform, a modular concept and latest detector technology.
(Nano)material analysis on multiple length scales
Like no other lab instrument on the market, the Empyrean Nano edition covers Bragg spacings from sub-Ångströms to micron(s) and a scattering vector q-range spanning over almost five decades - without any gaps.
The combination of USAXS with SAXS/WAXS and PDF measurements on the Empyrean Nano edition uniquely enables for the characterization of hierarchical structures on multiple length scales, covering Bragg spacings from sub-Ångström to micron(s).

Empyrean brochure
This product brochure introduces the Empyrean by Malvern Panalytical, the intelligent diffractometer.
XRD of gallium nitride and related compounds: strain, composition and layer thickness
In this white paper, Malvern Panalytical provides an introduction to the X-ray diffraction analysis of key structural parameters in epitaxial GaN layers. Fundamental crystallographic concepts are introduced and related to the specific requirements of the technological structures created for optoelectronic and electronic devices employing GaN and related compounds.
