Applications:

X-ray diffraction is widely used to identify crystalline phases, measure crystallite sizes, lattice parameters, orientation and provide quantitative phase analysis and atomic coordinates. This information is important for relating the production of a material to its structure and hence its properties. As well as being of academic interest, X-ray results are used in patent disputes, forensically and for quality control. Compound Identification areas:
