X-Ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD) is the primary tool for investigating the structure of crystalline materials, from atomic arrangement to crystallite size and imperfections. Intertek XRD scientists have experience with a wide range of sample types and formats.
XRD Analysis Provides:
- Analysis of solid and liquid samples
- Reflection, transmission or capillary geometry
in-situ high temperature & reactive environment
- Orientation / texture data
- Grazing incidence
- Reflectometry
- Kratky Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS)
XRD Analysis Applications include:
- Nano-materials: phase composition, crystallite size and shape, lattice distortions and faulting, composition variations, orientation, in-situ structure development.
- Catalysts: for nano-materials, with monitoring of structure throughout manufacturing and use to develop structure-property relationships.
- New materials development
- Polymers & Composites:
Crystalline form, crystallinity, crystalline perfection, orientation
- Pharmaceuticals & Organics: polymorphs, crystallinity, and orientation are important to performance and can be followed by XRD, including in-situ studies. XRD qualified to GMP standards.
XRD Expertise includes:
- XRD studies under process conditions
- XRD to cGMP Standards
- Nano-scale structure, crystallite size and shape, lattice distortion and faulting
- Crystalline materials information includes phase composition, structure variations (solid solutions and polymorphs), crystallinity & orientation
Non-crystalline periodicity, size and orientation.
