X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to evaluate crystalline materials and determine their structural properties. As one of the most widely used ...

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.

Combining powder diffraction data with electron crystallography can give us a clearer view of modulated structures. Combining powder diffraction data with electron crystallography can give us a ...

Non-ambient diffraction is a powerful tool for identifying the effects of temperature, humidity, pressure, or atmosphere on a sample. Materials exposed to non-ambient environments tend to have ...

Specimen mounting in x-ray powder diffraction affects peak positions and intensities. The specimen-mount procedure is one of the many actions an investigator employs that could dramatically affect ...

This course provides an introduction to Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), aimed at complete beginners. The course is also ideal for analysts or technicians looking for a refresher in these techniques.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a technique in which the diffraction of X-rays by a sample of interest is analyzed. When used as a basic technique (X-ray powder diffraction), it can determine the ...

In 26,400 BC, the first ceramic statue made from clay was fabricated in Brno, Czech Republic. Early examples of pottery emerged in Eastern Asia tens of thousands of years later (16,400 BC) in the ...
