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 ...

The technique is typically carried out on a single crystal, but because not all substances easily form good quality crystals, powder X-ray diffraction (PXD) is sometimes used instead. Powder X-ray ...

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 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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Physiochemical properties such as solubility and dissolution rate play a crucial role when it comes to the therapeutic efficacy of oral drug formulations. According to the Biopharmaceutical ...

Provides a complete range of structural measurements including powder diffraction, thin film metrology including thin-film method, preferred orientation, crystal quality, reflectometry and grazing ...
