From pharmaceuticals, catalysts and hydrogen storage candidates to thin films, multilayer devices and strained metal surfaces; X-ray diffraction is the non-destructive analytical tool of choice.
Structural characterisation of functional materials
The wavelength of x-rays makes them ideal for confirming and analysing diverse crystalline structures. Samples as varied as single crystals, polycrystalline substances - including metals, thin films, epitaxial deposits can be studied using diffraction and the related technique of x-ray scattering.
Southampton Chemistry Analytical Solutions offers state of the art X-ray diffraction facilities and expertise encompassing a broad cross section of materials characterisation needs.
