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 ...

For many decades, the method to obtain atomic-level descriptions of chemical compounds and materials—be it a drug, a catalyst, or a commodity chemical—has been X-ray crystallography. This method has a ...

MIT.nano has added a new X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrument to its characterization toolset, enhancing facility users' ability to analyze materials at ...

XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...

Nanomaterials are used in various fields due to their distinct size-dependent properties, and accurate characterization is essential to optimize and design them for specific applications. 1 For ...
