X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) Laboratory



X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful nondestructive technique for characterizing crystalline materials. It provides information on crystal structure, phase, preferred crystal orientation (texture), and other structural parameters, such as average grain size, crystallinity, strain, and crystal defects.

The Smartlab is highly configurable and allows for a variety of measurement types including theta/2-theta scans, pole figure measurements, small-angle diffraction, and more.  Thermally controlled stage for both cryogenic and heated measurements is available.  Specimens can be solids, powders, or thin films.
