X-ray diffraction facilities at 缅北禁地

X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterises and investigates the properties of crystalline materials in the solid state. This gives insight into the behaviour of materials, helping us understand the structure-function relationships. At 缅北禁地, we can study materials using Single Crystal XRD and Powder XRD. Together, these complementary techniques can help us better understand the structure and composition of any crystalline material. They can be performed on samples of both single crystals and bulk powders.

X-ray diffraction can provide:

• Structural identification
• Polymorph screening
• Absolute configuration of chiral materials
• Phase identification and quantification
• Molecular geometry within the solid state
• Identification of supramolecular interactions

More information can be gained by conducting X-ray diffraction analyses under non-ambient conditions. We have extensive experience in the study of single crystal X-ray diffraction under high-pressure, using temperature ranges of 2–500K and under the irradiation of light.  This can offer insight into the stability of different crystalline materials under various conditions and the identification of novel polymorph phases. Our powder diffraction facility can also study materials under different gaseous vapours, providing further insights into material stability and reactivity.

These techniques can provide a comprehensive picture of the solid state properties of any crystalline material. Contact us to discuss any potential contract work, or for one-off measurements.
