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 ...
Developing reliable and effective methods for the detection of explosive materials has become paramount in recent decades following high profile cases of terrorism, such as the events of 9/11. Since ...
The technique is typically carried out on a single crystal, but because not all substances easily form good quality crystals, powder X-ray diffraction (PXD) is sometimes used instead. Powder X-ray ...
