The X-Ray Analysis Core Lab includes x-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) instruments. This lab offers staff operated analysis as well as training. All reservations are made in ...

Students will be able to identify different types of crystal structures that occur in metals, ceramics, and polymers. Students will be able to perform standard x-ray diffraction measurements on metals ...

Definition: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. By measuring the angles and intensities of diffracted beams ...

From manufacturing to recycling, industries can benefit a lot from the use of polymer analysis by XRF. A recent interview with Christopher Shaffer, XRF, XRD, and OES Business Development Manager, from ...

X-rays, a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, pack enough energy to pierce materials and interact with inner-shell electrons. 1 When they hit a sample, ...

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.

Lab scale: Members of Ashley Bucsek’s group can now use three-dimensional X-ray diffraction to study polycrystalline materials on campus, whereas they would previously only have been able to do this ...

Researchers are responsible for making their own macromolecules in milligram quantities and in highly purified form. The core staff will assist with handling of macromolecules for structure analysis.

X-ray techniques have been used for decades by authorities to prevent crime and keep people safe. Perhaps their most well-known use is for the detection of dangerous and banned items or substances, ...
