PXRD

Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) is a technique used to identify the internal structure of crystalline materials. When a sample is exposed to X-rays, the rays bounce off the atoms in a specific pattern based on their arrangement. By analyzing the angles and intensities of the scattered X-rays, scientists can determine the material's crystal structure and identify its components. PXRD is commonly used in chemistry, materials science, and geology to analyze powders and fine-grained substances, providing valuable insights into their composition and structural properties.
