X-ray Diffraction Laboratory

Services

The laboratory offers a wide range of services:

General diffraction

Analysis and identification of polycristaline samples by X-ray diffraction.

X-ray diffraction of films or fiber in reflection or transmission mode.

Small angle X-ray diffraction / scattering

Variable temperatures X-ray diffraction for studying transformation, phase transitions or desolvatation processes.

Texture analysis, pole figures.

Microdiffraction, two-dimensional X-ray diffraction, mapping and combinatorial measurements.

Single crystal analysis

Sorting and selection of single crystals.

Diffraction test.

Crystal mounting, including air, temperature or moisture-sensitive samples

Unit-cell lattice parameters, symmetry or space group determination.

Face indexing of single crystals

Complete crystal structure determination for organic or inorganic molecules at room temperature or low temperature.

Crystal structure analysis with geometry data (bond lengths, bond angles, conformation) and report with high-quality molecular plots.

To submit a sample, download the submission form or fill the on-line submission form. You can also send an e-mail to arrange a meeting or to check the pricing. Note that a submission is fully considered once the quality of the samples has been checked by an optical examination with a polarized light microscope to see if they are appropriate for a single crystal X-ray diffraction study.
