With our Brucker-AXS D8 Advance 2 axes diffractometer (fig. 2) we can provide θ,2θ-scans (fig. 3), rocking curves, etc. From the measured scans peak positions and intensities can be obtained as well as widths and FWHMs, phases can be identified, indexed and compared with the ICDD PDF data base, etc. With help of Rietveld analysis crystal structures can be identified. These way phase analysis, crystallography analysis, thin film characterization, powder characterisation, texture and residual stress investigations, etc. can be performed.
