Amorphous materials diffractometer

On LAD-liquids and amorphous materials diffractometer many investigations of disordered materials were accomplished through the use of the TOF method... 

G.39 Harold P. Klug and Leroy E. Alexander. X-Ray Diffraction Procedures, 2nd ed. (New York Wiley, 1974). Contains a great deal of useful detail on the theory and operation of powder cameras and diffractometers. Covers the following topics in depth chemical analysis by diffraction, parameter measurement, line-broadening analysis, texture determination, stress measurement, and studies of amorphous materials. Single-crystal methods are not included. 

The PSD diffractometer can be used for either standard powder diffraction studies (see, e.g., Somogyvari et al. 2002b), but also, its design allows studying liquids and amorphous materials (see, e.g., Jdvari et al. 2001). 

X-ray diffraction patterns can be rapidly obtained with today s computerized diffractometers, and they are very informative in regard to typical dispersed metal catalysts. The high-surface-area support material usually has quite broad diffraction peaks because in its amorphous state it has limited long-range, translational order. In contrast, diffraction peaks for...
