Using the ScatterX78 vacuum chamber, enabling very fast SAXS and WAXS data collection, the hydrothermal synthesis of nanoceria was monitored in real time. Particle and crystallite sizes as a function of synthesis time were accurately documented over the 36-hour combined SAXS-WAXS experiment.
In WDXRF spectrometry, the polychromatic beam emerging from a sample surface is dispersed into its monochromatic constituents by the use of an analyzing crystal according to Bragg's law.
Grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) is applied to thin surface layers containing nanoparticles, pores and other nonhomogeneities with dimensions in the range 1 – 100 nm. GISAXS is used to obtain information about the size, shape and alignment of these nanoscale features.
In the October 2013 issue of Steel Times International magazine, you can learn more about the use of XRD in optimizing ore beneficiation, sinter preparation, DRI and the resultant steel.
In this webinar we will show an overview of the applications which are possible with high-energy X-rays (hard radiations). We also give a basic introduction to the total scattering technique and PDF analysis.
In the webinar, the texture evolution of a rolled copper strip under mechanical strain was investigated in situ by the application of a tensile stage onto an Empyrean X-ray diffraction system.
Analyzing powder diffraction data of nanocrystalline and amorphous materials using the PDF method, provides information about the ordering of atoms in materials.
During the webinar various case studies where XRD is used in metallurgical applications will be demonstrated, discussing examples of the analysis on steel, but also other metals such as zircaloy, aluminum, nickel, tin and copper. You will learn how XRD can be applied to the different materials and analytical challenges.
The webinar is aimed at an audience looking for an introduction to the application of high-resolution XRD to the measurement of epitaxial layers both in academia and in industry.
XRD can be used for fast and accurate cluster analysis, phase identification and quantification of the minerals present in iron ore. Different XRD methods can distinguish between goethite with varying Al contents.
The temperature-controlled humidity system for X-ray diffraction was applied to measure the influence of temperature and humidity on the crystal structure of trehalose.
This webinar will focus on the X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques applied in studying highly oriented (textured) thin film samples. Textured layers are often more challenging to analyze than polycrystalline or epitaxial thin films.
