A Qualitative Study of Reactive Powder Concrete using X-Ray Diffraction Technique

Detection of breast cancer using non-invasive X-ray diffraction technique of hair: A preliminary study

Background: An early diagnosis of breast cancer relates directly to an accurate treatment plan and strategy. Early detection of breast cancer before its development would be a significant reduction of morbidity and mortality rates. The aim of this preliminary study is to investigate the sensitivity of Wide Angle X-ray diffraction (WAXRD) method on women hair samples of healthy and breast cancer...

X-Ray Powder Diffraction Metrics

To compare sample data from x-ray diffraction a suitable metric is developed to evaluate the similarity (or dissimilarity) between samples and to compare it to a references. The methodology focuses on the d-lines and uses the intensity measurements indirectly in the algorithm. The resulting d-line distribution and summary statistics of the differences is used to establish whether a true differe...

Accurate determination of X-ray energies using powder diffraction

We report synchrotron energy determinations using the powder diffraction patterns of Si (640b) and LaB6 (660) standard reference powders at a number of energies between 5 and 20 keV. The fitted peak positions of all peaks recorded on image plates were used in each energy determination. Several sources of systematic error were investigated and their connection led to physically reasonable and co...
