X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is a rapid analytical technique primarily used for phase identification of a crystalline material and can provide information on unit cell dimensions. The analyzed material is finely ground, homogenized, and average bulk composition is determined.
The X-ray diffraction unit for phase identification and the Differential Scanning Calorimeter for characterization are the important facilities, which are now being used extensively for research.
