THE investigation of the structure of matter by means of X-rays became possible with Laue's discovery of the crystal diffraction of X-rays in 1912, and following on this, the great pioneer work of the ...

The technique is typically carried out on a single crystal, but because not all substances easily form good quality crystals, powder X-ray diffraction (PXD) is sometimes used instead. Powder X-ray ...

This video shows how the X-ray powder diffraction sample preparation, measurement and analysis is now easy with Bruker’s D2 PHASER instrument. The D2 PHASER desktop X-ray diffraction tool enables ...

In pharmaceuticals, PXRD is most commonly used to detect traces of polymers. Better detectors and optical technologies are being developed primarily to push the limits of detection (LOD) still lower.

Provides a complete range of structural measurements including powder diffraction, thin film metrology including thin-film method, preferred orientation, crystal quality, reflectometry and grazing ...

The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

X-ray powder diffraction exploits the interaction between x-rays and matter to study the structural and microstructural properties of materials. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) is a powerful technique ...

This course will explain x-ray diffraction and related phenomena in terms of the kinematical, optical and dynamical theories of x-ray scattering. X-ray diffraction, reflectivity, standing waves and ...

Particle size analysis is crucial to quality control and product development in a number of key industries including aerosols, construction, food and beverage, paint and coatings, and pharmaceuticals.
