| Abstract: | A hard X‐ray engineering applications beamline (BL‐02) was commissioned recently and started operation in March 2019 at the Indian synchrotron source, Indus‐2. This bending‐magnet‐based beamline is capable of operating in various beam modes, viz. white, pink and monochromatic beam. The beamline utilizes the X‐ray diffraction technique in energy‐dispersive and angle‐dispersive modes to carry out experiments mainly focused on engineering problems, viz. stress measurement, texture measurement and determination of elastic constants in a variety of bulk as well as thin‐film samples. An open‐cradle six‐circle diffractometer with ∼12 kg load capacity allows accommodation of a wide variety of engineering samples and qualifies the beamline as a unique facility at Indus‐2. The high‐resolution mode of this beamline is suitably designed so as to carry out line profile analysis for characterization of micro‐ and nano‐structures. In the present article the beamline is described starting from the beamline design, layout, optics involved, various operational modes and experimental stations. Experiments executed to validate the beamline design parameters and to demonstrate the capabilities of the beamline are also described. The future facilities to be incorporated to enhance the capabilities of the beamline are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
