Abstract

The present invention relates to a test chamber that can be used to perform a variety of X-ray and neutron spectroscopy experiments including powder diffraction, small-angle scattering, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and pair distribution functions, such chamber comprising a first electrode with an X-ray transparent window; a second electrode with an X-ray transparent window; a plurality of insulating gaskets providing a hermetic seal around the sample and preventing contact between said first and second electrodes; and an insulating housing into which the first electrode is secured.

First claim

The embodiment of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed is defined as follows:

1. A device for testing one or more batteries with electromagnetic radiation between the wavelengths of 10 −10 and 10 −5 m or neutron radiation, the device defining an axis and comprising:
a housing that comprises electrically insulating material;
a first electrode adapted to be substantially received by the housing wherein the first electrode comprises a first surface…
