A First Look at Bennu

It’s cool to know that some of the analytical techniques available at EAG, such as SEM and XRD, are being used to analyze a sample from space! How awesome is that?

amorphous vs crystalline - pharmaceuticals

Amorphous vs. Crystalline Materials

Solids fall under two main categories: amorphous and crystalline. These two types of solids have different properties that may be more beneficial for certain products or applications.

Analysis of CIGS Thin Film PV

CIGS Thin Film PV performance reliability and uniformity as manufacturing is scaled up, can be optimized using materials characterization.

Analysis of refractory materials

XRD and EDS analysis of refractory materials that are typically used in glass tank furnaces are zirconia, alumina and silica-based bricks.

Ask the Expert: X-ray Diffraction (XRD)

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful and versatile technique that can give detailed structural information about almost anything that is solid.

Characterization of Beach Sand Using WDXRF and XRD

WDXRF and XRD are two powerful tools that allow us to obtain detailed characterization of materials, covering both the elemental composition and crystalline phases present.

Characterization of Bioceramics for Surgical Implants: Part I – Precursor Qualification

Composition Analysis on 3D Printed Titanium

XRD analysis provides identification of crystalline phases present. For 3D printed materials that come from a matrix of multiple elements, it can be unclear whether the cooling creates one, consistent phase of material or if it separates out into multiple phases.

Crystallite size determination using XRD

XRD analysis shows the crystallite size can be evaluated at half maximum of a diffraction peak as the crystallite size decreases.
