X-Ray diffraction

Description

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to identify and quantify the crystalline phases in solid materials. By analyzing the diffractograms produced when X-rays interact with crystalline structures, researchers can derive critical information about the material’s structure, composition, and properties. The Bruker D8-DISCOVER and D8-ADVANCE systems enable advanced analyses, including temperature variations, residual stress measurements, and crystallinity assessments, making XRD essential in materials science, geology, and engineering.
