DURING the last visit of the late Dr. E. W. Washburn to Toronto in the latter part of 1933, in an address on the properties of heavy water, he announced that water vapour, when condensed at very ...

(Illustration: ETH Zürich / Daniela Rupp) In a 2D-XRD experiment, a collimated beam of X-rays is directed onto a crystalline sample. The X-rays interact with the electrons in the atoms, causing them ...

This article delves into the definition, principle of operation, key features, and applications of XRD, mirroring the style and formatting of the provided excerpts. Basic scheme of an X-ray ...

The path of the electron beam may be varied so that the beam passes through one of the foils or misses both. The aluminum is polycrystalline so that the diffraction pattern consists of rings. The ...

The XRD Research Facility is concerned with the characterisation of a wide array ... the most accurate way of conducting quantitative phase analysis is by applying the Rietveld method to powder ...

When illuminated with a coherent light source it creates a complex diffraction pattern on the other side of array — a few tens of micrometres away. At certain distances these patterns show well ...

Initially showcased in 1991, XRD-CT offers a superior approach to characterising the physicochemical composition of intact objects. It has an advantage over traditional X-ray imaging because it ...

When a laser beam is incident on a narrow opaque object such as a fine wire or a strand of hair, the resulting diffraction pattern is similar to the diffraction pattern of a slit of the same width as ...

The HyPix-3000 detector, meanwhile, could be used in obtaining 2D powder diffraction patterns which could then be processed to deliver reliable qualitative analysis by using only 2D pattern ...
