X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)

X-Ray Diffraction X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is a non-destructive technique for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the crystalline materials, in form of powder or solid.

GNR XRD covers a huge range of applications for materials characterization and quality control of crystalline or non-crystalline materials such as powders, specimens, thin films or liquids.

Qualitative analysis (phase analysis) can be done thanks to the comparison of the diffractogram obtained from the specimen with a huge number of patterns included in the official databases. Single phases and/or mixtures of phases can be analysed with the programs available today.

Many investigations can be performed with the help of X-ray diffraction.
