Let Our Methods Support Your Research

We provide a new mode for accessing synchrotron facilities for high-throughput powder diffraction measurements and advanced data analytics.

High-resolution X-ray powder diffraction (HR-XRPD)

X-ray powder diffraction is ideal for identification, refinement, and solution of microcrystalline structures. This technique provides a rapid diagnostic for detecting impurities, quantifying phases, determining molecular-scale and morphological properties of matter, and much more.

  • Long-range order

Total scattering (TS)

Total scattering goes beyond typical assessment of diffraction peaks to consider the diffuse inten­sities scattered underneath and in between. These carry further in­for­mation about defects, dis­order, dy­nam­ics, and mor­phol­ogy that underpin functional properties.

  • Local structure

Pair distribution function (PDF) analysis

The pair distribution function analysis gives an alternative perspective to the total sca­ttering signal by trans­for­ming the data to a spa­tial de­pen­den­ce, allowing pro­per­ties such as bond lengths, correlated motions, and local structural features to be observed directly.

  • Local structure

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)

Small-angle X-ray scattering probes the material over very low spatial frequencies. This allows observations of in­ho­mo­ge­neity or periodicity in the density, which can be particularly useful for identifying microphase segregation or mesoporosity. It also can give information about domain morphology and size, for example, of small nanoparticles, when crystallites are sufficiently dilute.
