The fundamental course covers instrumentation; specimen preparation; data acquisition; and live demonstration of qualitative phase analysis. It also provides an opportunity to use the latest ...

Indeed, refinement failures are commonplace: about half of the more than 300,000 entries in the Powder Diffraction File have some unrefined atomic coordinates. Given that consistently accurate ...

We compare diffraction patterns against the 2014 edition of the ICDD's Powder Diffraction File, a reference database of more than 340,000 reported crystalline phases to find the answer. We offer a ...

X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is a powerful structural characterization tool that is essentially a two point probe which measures the distance between all pairs of atoms within the diffraction volume ...
