X-ray powder diffraction is an important method for the characterization of crystalline materials. Measurements can lead to routine phase identification, unit cell determination, crystallite size, and in some instances, structure determination. Our Institute has two X-ray powder diffractometers for rapid analysis of materials. Sample preparation is usually easy and quality data sets can usually be obtained in about an hour.
