Understanding the make-up of crystalline structures is a vital aspect of the characterisation of new compounds, and can be regarded as an important first step towards the possibility of tailoring ...

Data reduction schemes include unit cell determination, pattern indexing, precision lattice parameter determination, and Reitveld analysis. Crystalline compounds can be identified through indexing ...

A new study explores how surface coatings influence water absorption and selectivity in metal–organic nanotubes, offering ...

Crystalline compounds can be identified through indexing with the built-in JCPDS powder diffraction database. Fundamentals of microstructural and chemical characterization of materials. Examines the ...

With a multipurpose platform that covers an extensive range of applications including PDF analysis, powder XRD, SAXS, non-ambient XRD, etc., users can perform various tasks. Thanks to its fully ...

When a laser beam is incident on many small objects such as lycopodium powder, the resulting diffraction pattern is similar to the diffraction pattern of a small circular aperture (Airy's disk pattern ...

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 ...

UO3 is a common intermediate compound found in the nuclear fuel cycle, yet the exact crystal structure of this material has long been debated. Inconsistent computational and experimental data in ...

Ammonium diuranate (ADU) is commonly encountered in the nuclear fuel cycle; however, previous investigations have shown that ADU is a complex mixture of distinct compounds. Moreover, production ...

We compare diffraction patterns against the 2014 edition of the ICDD's Powder Diffraction File, a reference database of more than 340,000 reported crystalline phases to find the answer. We offer a ...
