X-ray single crystal and powder diffraction: possibilities and applications

In this article the main possibilities of single crystal and powder diffraction analysis using conventional laboratory x-ray sources are introduced. Several examples of applications with different solid samples and in different fields of applications are shown illustrating the multidisciplinary capabilities of both techniques. Handbook of instrumental techniques from CCiTUB X-ray single crystal...

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...
