X-Ray Diffraction Laboratory

XRD laboratory

X-ray machine is essential to characterize the structure of materials, primarily the crystalline structure. In the x-ray diffraction laboratory, both thin film and powder samples are characterized. Customized sample cell is available for liquid samples to be analyzed as a function of temperature. Even, the electron density profile for amorphous materials with layered structure can be derived by using x-ray reflectivity technique.

Experimental techniques:

• Powder X-ray Diffraction.
• Thin Film X-ray Diffraction
• X-ray Reflectivity
• Reciprocal Space Mapping
• Grazing Incidence X-ray diffraction

Projects with materials:

• Oxide materials
• Nano-materials
• Model biological systems
• Materials for opto-electronic device
• Ceramic
• Organic-inorganic composites
