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 ...

Over the course of its long history, powder diffraction has provided countless insights into the properties of materials. It will continue to do so in the future, but with an emphasis on elucidating ...

The characterization of individual components in an unknown crystalline powder mixture is a challenge that has eluded scientists for many years. Now, A*STAR researchers have for the first time ...

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 ...

“The powder method has gained a new importance in neutron diffraction owing to the general lack of large specimens for single-crystal methods”. With this brief opening sentence of his landmark paper ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

The Scintag XDS2000 powder diffractometer is configured with a graphite monochromater and IBM compatible workstation running Scintag DMSNT software in Windows NT environment. New cameras installed in ...

Experiments were conducted to establish a laser diffraction-based method for the determination of lactose powder particle size. This was accomplished using a Bettersizer 2600 equipped with a fully ...

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 ...
