When a laser beam is incident on many small objects such as lycopodium powder, the resulting diffraction pattern is similar to the diffraction pattern of a small circular aperture (Airy's disk pattern ...

Powder pattern indexing and Rietveld structural refinement techniques are complementary and are often combined to determine the structure of a material. Indexing is considered a prelude to determining ...

The advanced course covers a wide range of topics including systematic errors, factors affecting intensities of diffraction peaks; data reduction algorithms; phase identification; advanced data mining ...

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 ...

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 ...

Pattern indexing is central to electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis. Creating an effective indexing algorithm was essential in the effort to automate EBSD. There are two steps to ...
