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,...

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...

Since zeolites are notoriously difficult to prepare as large single crystals, structure determination usually relies on powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). However, structure solution (i.e., deriving an initial structural model) directly from powder XRD data is often very difficult due to the diffraction phase problem and the high degree of overlap between the individual reflections, particularly f...

X-ray powder diffraction was used to study the phase composition of human renal calculi. The stones were collected from 56 donors in Vitória, Espírito Santo state, southeastern Brazil. An XRD phase quantification revealed that 61% of the studied renal stones were composed exclusively of calcium oxalate 34% formed only by calcium oxalate monohydrate COM and 27% presents both monohydrate and dihy...

objective(s): cao–mgo–sio2 system bioceramics possess good characteristics for hard tissue engineering applications. the aim of the study was to synthesize the nano powder by using a sol-gel method and evaluate of bioactivity in the cells culture. methods: to characterize of powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and to evaluate the bioactivity sample cell seedin...

This work presents the results for identification of chemical phases obtained by several laboratories as a part of an international nuclear forensic round-robin exercise. In this work powder X-ray diffraction (p-XRD) is regarded as the reference technique. Neutron diffraction produced a superior high-angle diffraction pattern relative to p-XRD. Requiring only small amounts of sample, µ-Raman sp...

Data from X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were subjected to a partial least-squares regression analysis (PLS) to build a calibration model for predicting the polymorphic content of carbamazepine (CBZ). The effectiveness of the PLS method in the construction of calibration models was analyzed by a scientific approach based on a regulation vector. CBZ forms I and III were characterized by differen...

Undoped Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles as well as ZnO nanoparticles doped with Magnesium (Mg) were synthesized by wet chemical precipitation method using Zinc acetate and Magnesium acetate in Ethylene glycol and distilled water medium. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD patterns show the pattern of typical ZnO nanoparticles and correspond with st...

A filter based on the Hankel Lanczos Singular Value Decomposition (HLSVD) technique is presented and applied for the first time to X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. Synthetic and real powder XRD intensity profiles of nanocrystals are used to study the filter performances with different noise levels. Results show the robustness of the HLSVD filter and its capability to extract easily and efficiently...

A portable powder-liquid high-corrosion-resistant reaction cell has been designed to follow in situ reactions by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) techniques. The cell has been conceived to be mounted on the experimental stations for diffraction and absorption of the Spanish CRG SpLine-BM25 beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. Powder reac...
