Types of samples for XRD
A diffractometer can be utilized to analyze various types of crystalline samples, as well as samples with a mixture of amorphous phases, including powdered materials, polycrystalline films, bulk pieces, etc. Below are some examples of sample types that can be analyzed using a diffractometer:
- Raw materials and products in the production of construction materials (clinkers, cements, and their constituents).
- Pharmaceutical ingredients.
- Minerals, rocks, and other materials in the mining industry.
- Coatings on finished products of various purposes.
- Novel prospective materials obtained through scientific research.
- Food products.
- Samples for forensic analysis.
