X-ray and neutron powder diffraction studies of NASICON superion conductors

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...

Oxides: neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction studies

We shall review some results from several areas of oxide science in which neutron scattering and X-ray synchrotron scattering exercise a complementary role to high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The very highresolution time-of-flight neutron diffraction technique and its role in studies of the magnetic structure of oxides will especially be reviewed. The selected topics of structu...

Two-dimensional X-ray powder diffraction

X-ray powder diffraction on proteins

Macromolecular structures are traditionally determined by means of single crystal X ray diffraction from protein crystals of micrometer dimensions. Nevertheless, the growth of good quality single crystals can be very difficult or even impossible, especially in cases of large proteins, membrane proteins or protein complexes. Modern developments of X-ray powder diffraction have allowed the struct...

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...
