Powder XRD measurement -- 1.5 CHF/min
Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a technique used to analyze the crystal structure of materials based on the interaction of X-rays with a powdered sample. The information that can be obtained from powder XRD results includes: Identification of the mineral or compound present in the sample based on its unique diffraction pattern; Determination of the crystal structure and lattice parameters of the material; Comparison of experimental patterns with theoretical patterns, which can help to validate crystal structure models; Detection of impurities or phase transitions in the material; Quantitative analysis of the phases present in a mixture of compounds, such as in mineralogy or pharmaceuticals; Estimation of particle size and shape information based on peak broadening measurements.
1. Powder or bulk.
2. The sample length should be at least 3-5 mm along the X-ray direction.
3. The weight of the powder sample at least 500mg
