The composition, structure, properties, behavior and changes substances undergo during a reaction with other substances or in different environmental conditions are important material characteristics. Element analysis of the main components and trace elements can be performed with X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and crystal structure determination and phase analysis and quantification are studied with X-ray diffraction (XRD) in your lab or fab. X-ray analysis examines powders, solids, liquids, pastes, films or single crystals. Rigaku offers a wide range of solutions for both academic research and industrial applications for any composition and type of structural information obtainable by X-rays: XRD (X-ray diffraction) in combination with DSC, CT (computed tomography), handheld Raman, SAXS (small angle X-ray scattering), WAXS (wide angle X-ray scattering), XRR (X-ray reflectivity), and XRT (X-ray topography).
