Extract

X-ray diffraction analysis is an excellent analytical tool. But if a certain quality of the results is needed or if solutions of analytical problems are to be obtained in a short time period, the X-ray diffractometer must be automated and the spectra reduced with dedicated algorithms.

In LABORELEC, three programs are principally used to solve the problems encountered in the X-ray diffraction analysis: a modified program given by R. L. Snyder; the search/match G. G. Johnson program (last version); and the POWD5 program.
