Crystalline Silica Testing

---

Salem, NH, September 29^th, 2020

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a technique that is widely used today for the identification and characterization of crystalline materials. It is a rapid and nondestructive technique based on Bragg’s law that can offer scientists and engineers a wealth of information when examining crystalline materials.

Due to the long-range order of the atoms or molecules in the structure of crystalline materials, a sample will generate unique diffraction patterns when irradiated with X-rays. These patterns can then be used for the identification of material/phases, or for providing various information about the crystalline structure, defects or purity of the material. Examples of XRD applications include identification of minerals (such as crystalline silica) or metals, and determining the concentrations of various crystalline components/phases through calibration or pattern fitting approaches.

XRD has a wide range of uses in geology, material science, environmental science, chemistry, forensic science, and for various other industrial and research applications. The scientists and engineers at Advanced MicroAnalytical offers XRD, along with other precision material testing techniques, in their state-of-the-art laboratory. XRD and other testing options provide Advanced MicroAnalytical’s experts with the resources to rapidly identify, characterize, compare and resolve material questions and challenges for clients from a wide range of industries.
