    Description
    The Unversity of Ottawa is pleased to invite qualified proponents to submit a proposal for SAXS/WAXS/GISAX System for analysis of nanostructured materials, thin layers and electrodes.

    General Description:
    This state-of-the-art system will be used for analysis of nanostructured materials, layers and electrodes. The proposed SAXS/WAXS/GISAX system will have features including automated alignment, a wide range of sample holders for solid (powder and thin films) and liquid samples. The system will be equipped with a 2D imaging detector with a large detector surface, thus capable of measuring very large q values important for resolving very small structural details. Another important feature of the system is the capability of Grazing-Incidence Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (GI-SAXS) Stage, necessary to characterize surface structures on the nanometer scale.

    Specifications listed in Appendix A – Technical Specifications Compliance Form of this RFP are the mandatory minimum requirements for the SAXS/WAXS/GISAX System.


    Mandatory Minimum Requirements for the SAXS/WAXS/GISAX System:

    1.0
    - SAXS System
    1.1 - The proposed system must be equiped with a SAXS control unit
    1.2 - The proposed system must have the ability to perform measurement in air and vacuum.
    1.3 - The proposed system must have Multi-purpose sample stage
    1.4 - The proposed system must include X-RAY SOURCE (Cu) and X-RAY OPTICS, High briliance 100 micro microsource with Cu X-ray tube
    1.5 - The proposed system must include a High-performance oil-free membrane pump with connectors and accessories
    1.6 - The proposed system must be equipped with a 2D Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) Detector
    1.7 - The proposed system must include a GISAXS Sample Stage for high-precision GISAXS/GIXD measurements, including:
    • GISAXS
    • In-plane (phi) rotation module
    • Sample pedestal
    1.8 - The proposed system must include heated sampler (ambient to 350oC), including:
    • Holder for multiple solid samples
    • Holders for multiple paste/gel samples
    • Holder for multiple disposable capillaries
    • Multi-cuvette holder for sample holders
    2.0 - Accessories for In-Situ Measurements
    2.1 - The proposed system must include a GISAXS Heated Module (ambient to 500oC). Samples can be studied under various gas compositions.
    2.2 - The proposed system must include an Electrochemical Cell for SAXS for performing in-situ SAXS/WAXS-studies of electrochemical systems, including a potentiostat/galvanostat.

    3.0 - Computer and Software
    3.1 - The proposed system must be equipped with a computer and monitor
    3.2  - The proposed system must include the control software
    3.3 - The proposed system must include an analysis data processing and data evaluation control software

    4.0 - Warranty, Installation and Training
    4.1 - The proposed system must include 3 years manufacturer’s warranty.
    4.2 - The proposed system must include installation and on-site training.

    5.0 - Other
    5.1 - The proposed system must have maximum dimensions of 3m long and 1.5m wide.
    5.2 - All electrical components must have CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certification, or accepted equivalent as per Electrical Safety Authority Recognized Certification Mark at the following link: https://esasafe.com/electrical-products/recognized-certification-marks/

    Otherwise, all electrical components must be able to undergo the appliable electrical inspection, and/or, certification, without voiding the system warranty.
