Definition: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. By measuring the angles and intensities of diffracted beams ...

X-ray crystallography is a technique that uses X-ray diffraction patterns to determine high-resolution, three-dimensional structures of molecules such as proteins, small organic molecules ...

Polymers such as polypropylene are fundamental materials in the modern world, found in everything from computers to cars.

Today, X-ray diffraction specialists feed such patterns into computer programs that generate colorful 3-D images. As the technology has improved, scientists have also tackled ever more complex ...

A principal use of the method is the detection and investigation of compounds according to their x-ray diffraction pattern. X-ray diffractometers are capable of non-destructively evaluating matter in ...

When using conventional X-ray diffraction systems to analyse crystal structures, crystals have to be milled into powders to ensure that the scattering patterns obtained are as uniform as possible.

The X-ray Crystallography Center was fully renovated in November 2007 and houses a single-crystal X-ray diffraction system, a brand-new Bruker D8 VENTURE diffractometer, providing X-ray diffraction ...
