X-ray diffraction techniques underpin the characterisation of polycrystalline materials by exploiting the interaction of X-rays with lattice planes to reveal crystallographic orientation, phase ...

In 26,400 BC, the first ceramic statue made from clay was fabricated in Brno, Czech Republic. Early examples of pottery emerged in Eastern Asia tens of thousands of years later (16,400 BC) in the ...

Experiments were conducted to establish a laser diffraction-based method for the determination of lactose powder particle size. This was accomplished using a Bettersizer 2600 equipped with a fully ...

Particle size analysis is crucial to quality control and product development in a number of key industries including aerosols, construction, food and beverage, paint and coatings, and pharmaceuticals.

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...
