2.3 TTK 600 Sample Chamber
The following chapters describe the chamber and its
parts in detail.
2.3.1 Chamber Main Parts
Fig. 4: Main components of the sample chamber
1 Chamber housing
2 X-ray beam window
3 Lid
4 Adapter for z-alignment stage (mechanical interface)
A suitable mechanical interface is necessary to
mount TTK 600 on the goniometer. Two types of in-
terfaces are available:
• Rigid adapters with a simple z-alignment device
which requires manual alignment of the sample
stage.
• Motorized z-alignment stages for PC-controlled
alignment of the sample stage.
If a motorized z-alignment stage is used, the align-
ment stage is mounted on the base-plate of
TTK 600 and the interface to the goniometer is
mounted on the z-alignment stage.
The sample position can change due to thermal
movement of the sample holder or sample shrink-
ing/expansion. If correction of the sample surface
displacement during a series of X-ray scans is re-
quired, we recommend to use a motorized z-align-
ment stage. For TTK 600 the sample holder
displacement during heating and cooling is
approx. ±0.1 mm.
2.3.2 Chamber Housing with Connectors

1 Blind plug (for optional additional connections)
2 Cooling water hose inlet
3 Cooling water hose outlet
4 Connection cable to CCU 100
5 Connector for sample cooling (liquid nitrogen or com-
pressed air)
6 Overpressure relieve valve (3 bar)
7 Gas connectors
The TTK 600 chamber housing is made of alumi-
num and is water-cooled. The housing is slotted
along the radiation path (entrance and exit of X-
rays). The X-ray window is covered with a Kapton
foil, which is pressed onto an O-ring by two clamp-
ing pieces.
There is one cable to connect TTK 600 to CCU 100.
This cable is responsible for providing the heating
current to the heater and for transferring the tem-
perature read-out and the signals from the sensors
within the instrument.
At the bottom of the housing is the connector for the
sample cooling device, either the liquid nitrogen
cooling equipment or the compressed-air cooling
unit.
