Synchrotron Power X-ray Diffraction (Powder XRD) provides detailed information about the composition and structure of crystalline materials.

Powder XRD is a workhorse technique in many industry sectors, providing direct quantitative information about crystal structures, phase composition, stress/strain, and crystallite size. Synchrotron Powder XRD provides significantly greater sensitivity and spectral resolution than conventional instruments, allowing for quantification of very dilute phases and determination of fine structural details.
