Abstract: Accurate crystal structure identification is crucial for material property prediction, functional design, and the discovery of new materials. Machine learning models trained on simulated ...
Dr. Akhilesh Tripathi has spent over two decades teaching X-ray diffraction (XRD) and training users of Rigaku's MiniFlex benchtop XRD system. In this conversation, he shares how benchtop XRD ...
One longstanding problem has sidelined life-saving drugs, stalled next-generation batteries, and kept archaeologists from identifying the origins of ancient artifacts. For more than 100 years, ...
In a recent article published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, researchers introduced a new approach using composite materials made from titanium dioxide (TiO₂) combined with a ...
Abstract: Understanding materials properties depends largely on the ability to determine its components, and in particular its mineral phases. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful tool for ...
XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...
The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...
ABSTRACT: Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a synthetic ceramic which is used in numerous biomedical applications. However, its use is restricted in load bearing applications. A novel batch hydrothermal method ...
Materials are made of tiny crystallites and non-crystallites; the former gives distinct patterns on interaction with X-rays, as the X-ray wavelength is identical to the inter-atomic spacing in ...
