Utility and Working Principal


Sample Details

Solid samples with polished surfaces (length-1.5 cm, width-1.5 cm, and height-0.3 cm) thin films (length-1.5 cm, width-1.5 cm, and height-0.3 cm) and powder can be measured directly by XRD. You will bring knowledge of XRD pattern range (2 Theta angle).
