High energy 2D X-ray powder diffraction experiments are widely used for lattice strain measurement. The 2D to 1D conversion of diffraction patterns is a necessary step used to prepare the data for full pattern refinement, but is inefficient when only peak centre position information is required for lattice strain evaluation. The multi-step conversion process is likely to lead to increased error...

Density, chemical, structural and vibrational studies of GexSb65Se35-x system with 0 ≤ x ≤ 20 produce by melt-quench technique were carried out using Archimedes method, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. All specimens are polycrystalline in nature as confirmed by XRD pattern. The compositional dependence of the XRD and Raman spectra suggests th...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis is a fundamental method to evaluate the carbon stacking structure in coal and carbon materials. However, the vagueness of XRD pattern of coal, which has the low crystallinity, often makes it difficult to evaluate the stacking structure quantitatively. In a previous study [1,2], we reported the standard analysis of carbon stacking structure in coal by XRD techniq...

Recently, Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have been reported to exhibit a low voltage charge/discharge behavior with high capacity (300–545 mAh/g) in lithium-ion secondary batteries (LIBs). To clarify the mechanism of low voltage behavior, we performed ex situ synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ex situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) of a film of Na1.34Mn[Fe(CN)6]0.84·3.4H2O w...

Chitosan–silver (CS–Ag) nanocomposite materials were synthesized by a simple chemical method. The synthesized CS–Ag nanocomposite contains 20 wt% silver. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction method as well. The CS–Ag nanocomposite was characterized using Field emission scanning electronic microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectrosc...

To clarify the inconsistency between calculated and existing experimental X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern for dicopper magnesium (MgCu2) nd to identify the impurity phase in Cu-sheathed MgB2 superconductors, polycrystalline MgCu2 samples were synthesized and studied by XRD easurement. The XRD result shows that the (2 2 0), (4 2 2), (6 2 0), and (6 4 2) reflection lines, which are missing from t...

X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) has long been used to determine the atomic-scale structure of materials. This technique is based on the fact that the wavelength of X-rays is comparable to the distances between atoms in condensed matter. When a material exhibiting a long-range (i.e. at least micrometers), periodic atomic order, such as a crystal, is irradiated with X-rays it acts as an extended, well-de...

Nano sized ZnS and MnS2 were synthesized through a simple wet chemical route. In this Synthesis metal sulfides were used as the starting material and allowed to react with the transition metal source at 60°C for 75 minutes. The products were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Photoluminescence spectra (PL), Raman Spectra, Thermogravimetry analysis Diff...

the present study was carried out to determine the possible origins of sediments entering taleghan dam in northern part of iran, in order to avoid further sedimentation and helping in extension of the useful life of the proposed dam. this was performed by xrd analysis. to do so, first of all, sediment sampling points were positioned along the taleghan river. the collected samples, after coding,...
