X-Ray Diffraction Analysis

Structure Analysis at the Nano-Scale by XRD

X-Ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD) is the primary tool for investigating the structure of crystalline materials, from atomic arrangement to crystallite size and imperfections. Intertek XRD scientists have experience with a wide range of sample types and formats.

XRD Analysis Provides:

  • Analysis of solid and liquid samples
  • Reflection, transmission or capillary geometry in-situ high temperature & reactive environment
  • Orientation / texture data
  • Grazing incidence
  • Reflectometry
  • Kratky Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS)


XRD Analysis Applications include:

  • Nano-materials: phase composition, crystallite size and shape, lattice distortions and faulting, composition variations, orientation, in-situ structure development.
  • Catalysts: for nano-materials, with monitoring of structure throughout manufacturing and use to develop structure-property relationships.
  • New materials development
  • Polymers & Composites: Crystalline form, crystallinity, crystalline perfection, orientation
  • Pharmaceuticals & Organics: polymorphs, crystallinity, and orientation are important to performance and can be followed by XRD, including in-situ studies. XRD qualified to GMP standards.


XRD Expertise includes:

  • XRD studies under process conditions
  • XRD to cGMP Standards
  • Nano-scale structure, crystallite size and shape, lattice distortion and faulting
  • Crystalline materials information includes phase composition, structure variations (solid solutions and polymorphs), crystallinity & orientation Non-crystalline periodicity, size and orientation.
