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 advanced course covers a wide range of topics including systematic errors, factors affecting intensities of diffraction peaks; data reduction algorithms; phase identification; advanced data mining ...

Imagine two tanks, one empty and the other with filled with small amounts of powder. Maybe it comes as a surprise, but the tank with powder is capable of storing far more hydrogen than the empty one!

The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

The authors discuss the valuable information that can be obtained from indexing and its applications in routine screening and analysis of solid forms. Crystal-structure determination using X-ray ...

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 ...

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 ...

I HAVE succeeded in showing recently that the comparatively coarse particles of any powder are suitable for structure investigation by means of electron diffraction 1. For this purpose a mineral or ...

Particle size analysis is crucial to quality control and product development in a number of key industries including aerosols, construction, food and beverage, paint and coatings, and pharmaceuticals.
