Over the course of its long history, powder diffraction has provided countless insights into the properties of materials. It will continue to do so in the future, but with an emphasis on elucidating ...

This video shows how the X-ray powder diffraction sample preparation, measurement and analysis is now easy with Bruker’s D2 PHASER instrument. The D2 PHASER desktop X-ray diffraction tool enables ...

“The powder method has gained a new importance in neutron diffraction owing to the general lack of large specimens for single-crystal methods”. With this brief opening sentence of his landmark paper ...

Non-ambient diffraction is a powerful tool for identifying the effects of temperature, humidity, pressure, or atmosphere on a sample. Materials exposed to non-ambient environments tend to have ...

In pharmaceuticals, PXRD is most commonly used to detect traces of polymers. Better detectors and optical technologies are being developed primarily to push the limits of detection (LOD) still lower.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to evaluate crystalline materials and determine their structural properties. As one of the most widely used ...

Experiments were conducted to establish a laser diffraction-based method for the determination of lactose powder particle size. This was accomplished using a Bettersizer 2600 equipped with a fully ...

The Scintag XDS2000 powder diffractometer is configured with a graphite monochromater and IBM compatible workstation running Scintag DMSNT software in Windows NT environment. New cameras installed in ...

Milk powder, as a result of milk processing, is a key product and it is widely used in the manufacture of ice cream, chocolate, confectionery, cultured milks and yogurts, bakery products, soups, and ...

The author examines dry dispersion and outlines the related analytical method development. Across the pharmaceutical industry, laser-diffraction technology is well established for particle-size ...
