X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
Powder Diffraction
- qualitative (Search/Match) analyses
- quantitative (Rietveld) analyses
Texture Analysis
- anisotropic macroscopic material properties such as:
- modulus of elasticity
- thermal dilatation,
- magnetic properties,
- plastic material behavior during forming (r-value),
- determination of the material condition (complete or partial recrystallization)
- Grain size and crystallite size distribution analyses
- Determination of single crystal orientations
Stress analyses
- Residual stress
- Material stresses under mechanical load
- Experiments under uniaxial pressure
Quality determination of single crystals in polycrystalline materials using a Laue camera
All these analyses can be combined with spatially resolved methods. If required, we carry out both powder and texture diffractometry at synchrotron or neutron sources.
