Without this material research is meaning less. physicists can't live without this

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Nanomaterials identification, crystal structure

Miniflex bench top XRD is an unavoidable equipment for science especially physics chemistry based research. One thing that make us attractive towards Rigaku XRD is its space of working. Small area of working space is enough for this device. Easiness in handling the software is another quality of Rigaku. Overall its amazing equipment for material science research.

Application NoteSpectroscopy

Data Collection and Processing for Single Crystal X-ray Analysis

Data collection and processing have a significant impact on the structure analysis step. Considering the power of current direct method programs, quality data is nearly equal in importance to obtaining the initial structure, when crystallographic difficulties such as an ambiguous space group and twining are not involved. This application note discusses problems and measures in obtaining diffraction data using two-dimensional detectors: a CCD and an IP detector.


Application NoteMaterials

Quantification of Trace Crystal Polymorph Components using a High-speed 1-Dimensional Detector

Materials with the same chemical formula but different crystal structures are called polymorphs. Since an X-ray diffraction profile depends on the crystal structure of the measured materials, XRD is used to evaluate crystal polymorphs. In this application note, a trace component of anatase, a commercially sold reagent, was evaluated with a standard addition method by using a high-speed 1-dimensional detector.
