X-ray diffraction measurements (XRD)

Description

The phenomenon of X-ray diffraction allows the identification of the phase composition of the mixtures of crystals, crystal orientation analysis of crystallographic texture and measurements of lattice parameters. To measure the intensity of X-ray diffraction we use MRD X-ray diffractometer from Panalytical company equipped with a new generation pixcel detector. Interpretation of X-ray diffraction is the essence of phase analysis, texture analysis, determining the parameters of the network, and enables the analysis of a variety of other phenomena occurring in the crystal structures.
