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

For more than a decade, the CheMin X-ray diffraction instrument on the Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity, has been returning definitive and quantitative mineralogical and mineral-chemistry data ...

The Department chair Dr. Williams presented this year's McNally award to Jihye Kang at the Chemistry Department Picnic on Oct. 21.

Imagine a device so powerful, it could let you see the atomic-level drama unfolding inside your cell phone’s battery as you use it to read this story online. Scientists at FIU are now equipped to do ...

Abstract: Understanding materials properties depends largely on the ability to determine its components, and in particular its mineral phases. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful tool for ...

XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...
