XRD, X-ray Diffraction Analysis Software: HighScore!
The most comprehensive software for X-ray diffraction analysis
The success of material research and production depends on high-quality results from samples obtained at various stages of the process.
Ensuring that the measurement data is accurate and flawless is extremely important. Moreover, it is essential to analyze this data intelligently and thoroughly to obtain clean, precise, and representative results.
What is X-ray diffraction?
X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a versatile, non-destructive analytical technique used to analyze physical properties such as phase composition, crystal structure, and orientation in powder, solid, and liquid samples. Many substances are composed of tiny crystals.
The chemical composition and structural types of these crystals are called ‘phases’. A material can be a single-phase or multi-phase mixture and can include crystalline and amorphous components.
If the crystal phases differ in an X-ray diffractometer, the diffraction patterns also vary.
The phases can be identified by comparing the X-ray diffraction pattern obtained from an unknown sample to patterns in a reference database. This process is similar to comparing fingerprints in criminal investigations. The most comprehensive compound database is maintained by the ICDD (International Center of Diffraction Data).
Additionally, you can build your reference database with the diffraction patterns of measured pure phases or patterns published in scientific literature or through your measurements. The relative intensity of the patterns from multiple phases in a multi-phase mixture is used to determine the overall composition of the sample.
