When a laser beam is incident on many small objects such as lycopodium powder, the resulting diffraction pattern is similar to the diffraction pattern of a small circular aperture (Airy's disk pattern ...

The CSD-Materials suite now includes a CSD Python API feature based on the FIDEL method, known as AutoFIDEL, which allows for matching and optimizing crystal structures against experimental powder ...

X-ray powder diffraction exploits the interaction between x-rays and matter to study the structural and microstructural properties of materials. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) is a powerful technique ...

Particle size analysis is crucial to quality control and product development in a number of key industries including aerosols, construction, food and beverage, paint and coatings, and pharmaceuticals.
