XRD software (various)

XRD (X-ray diffraction) software programs analyze data from X-ray beams directed at crystalline materials. When X-rays hit a crystal, they diffract in specific patterns that reveal the material's structure. These software tools process the diffraction data to identify the crystal phases, determine lattice parameters, and assess structural properties. They often include features for data collection, peak identification, phase analysis, and visualization. Popular XRD software such as JADE, HighScore, and GSAS streamline the interpretation of complex diffraction patterns, enabling researchers to characterize minerals, metals, and other materials efficiently and accurately.
