XRD ApplicationsXRD Applications

X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analyzes a wide variety of solid samples. Why solid? Because it needs the interaction of x-rays with the crystalline structure. Most solids have a crystalline structure that is stable.

Some Examples Where XRD is Used:ChemicalsGeology

(mineralogy, oil exploration)MetallurgyPolymersCatalysts

Why Different Sample Holders?Why Different Sample Holders?• Due to the many areas of research in which XRD Due to the many areas of research in which XRD

instrumentation can be utilized, we have had to develop instrumentation can be utilized, we have had to develop different “presentation” methods via sample holders to different “presentation” methods via sample holders to enable each sample to be in the most perfect diffracting enable each sample to be in the most perfect diffracting condition for the type of data desired. condition for the type of data desired.

• This need created a wealth of sample holder variations This need created a wealth of sample holder variations and styles for each particular need. We will look at some and styles for each particular need.
