The authors discuss the valuable information that can be obtained from indexing and its applications in routine screening and analysis of solid forms. Crystal-structure determination using X-ray ...

Definition: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. By measuring the angles and intensities of diffracted beams ...

What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...

In the field of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) method has developed into a robust tool for the crystallographic analysis of materials. Specifically, ...

The (relatively) ancient art of crystallography has had a huge impact on modern science by showing us the location of atoms within a molecule. The structure of DNA (and how it acts as an information ...

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, ...
