X-ray diffraction analysis
General purpose X-ray diffractometers is able to solve a wide range of powder diffraction tasks. Independent control of detector and sample rotation enables to use the instrument for some analysis of single crystals.
Methods of X-ray diffraction analysis implemented in diffractometers are as follows:
- Qualitative and quantitative analysis of phase (mineral) composition of crystalline materials including analysis at changing of environmental conditions (temperature, atmospheric pressure (vacuum), gas medium composition).
- Determination of single-crystal orientation.
- Analysis of texture and stress state of polycrystalline objects.
- Determination of various structural features of crystalline materials including atomic structure research.
X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy
X-ray fluorescence spectral analysis based on photon excitation of atom inner electron shells and recording of X-ray fluorescence is one of the most important express instrumental methods of the analysis. Each chemical element is characterized by a set of spectral lines reflecting the availability of this element; while their intensity is directly connected with the element concentration.
