XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...

Figure 1: a) Stationary diffraction pattern of cBN powder, integrated over the Debye-Scherrer rings, measured with femtosecond x-ray pulses as a function of the diffraction angle 2θ. b) Transient ...

In 1912, scientists invented X-ray crystallography and revealed a crystal’s atomic structure for the first time Tess Joosse Humans have marveled at crystals for millennia. Viridescent emerald, rich ...

As a result of the continuing climate crisis, there is a strong need to increase the energy efficiency of sophisticated material production processes. The production of classical cement is accountable ...

A wide range of organic compounds are used as APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) in the pharmaceutical industry and for applications like dyes or foods. These compounds typically consist of ...

Crystallography is the term applied to the field which studies crystalline structures. Many crystalline structures exist in nature, such as gemstones and rocks. In the field of life sciences, however, ...
