How to quantify the lattice distortion from XRD?
In real crystals, the atoms may not always sit at their ideal lattice sites. How to quantify this lattice distortion?
Based on my understanding from X-ray diffraction books, the Radial Distribution ...

1T phase MoS2 CIF File
The peak shift for XRD of the 1T and 2H phases of $\ce{MoS2}$ differs by a few degrees (just below 10 degrees for 1T, 14 degrees for 2H).
In Rietveld Refinement, a standard CIF file can be used for ...

Navigating through the various ceramic characterisation techniques?
We synthesis a lot of ceramic catalysts. For a long time now, we are facing problems in accurately and efficiently characterising the synthesized powders. We have identified the main problems as ...

How to analyse structure factors calculated from a mixture of isotropic amorphous substrates
I am looking for a way to computationally analyse the interactions between two molecular species (as solute and solvent) in an isotropic mixture using X-ray scattering. Is there a guideline as to how ...

How to calculate small and wide-angle X-ray scattering spectra for the hydration shell restricted by a distance radius criteria
My main aim is to extract the SWAXS spectra for the hydration shell surrounding a solvated molecule and I am unfamiliar with the idea of excluded solvent volume. I tried looking online but many ...

Is there a free online repository where I can download X-ray diffraction (XRD) data?
It's as the title of the question states. To be specific, I'm wondering if there are any free online repositories where I can download (.csv or .txt. or .xsl) files for x-ray diffraction (XRD) data.

How to reproduce 2D small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) interferogram of water via ab-initio MD methods?
I am trying to reproduce the 2D SAXS interference pattern of bulk water via ab initio MD methods as shown in the figure below:
The main aim is to recreate figure (a) via averaging MD configurations ...

Fitting of mesostructure diffraction peaks [closed]
I've got synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data where nice mesostructure diffraction peaks are observed at a very low angles. Does anybody know how to gain relevant information from these data? ...

Order of diffraction pattern confusion in XRD experiment
Somewhere I came across this phrase:
"expected diffraction angle for first order reflection."
With respect to XRD do I take this as a rule of thumb that the diffraction will always be a ...

Pattern X-Ray Diffraction Fitting
Assuming I have an experimental powder XRD spectra and I have a number of computational structures without any knowledge of which is correct, how can I simulate the powder XRD spectra? Once I have ...

Have FDTD methods made inroads into dynamical simulation of electron and/or X-ray scattering by crystals?
I'm afraid this question might be too basic or too naive or both, but here goes!
For optical diffraction by periodic nano-structures (gratings, semiconductor manufacturing metrology) the rigorous ...
