XRD Sample Holder X-ray Diffractometer Powder Slide

XRD sample holder

In 1912, Max von Laue made the groundbreaking discovery that crystalline substances can serve as three-dimensional diffraction gratings for X-ray wavelengths, utilizing the spacing of planes within a crystal lattice. This discovery paved the way for X-ray diffraction, which has become a widely used technique for investigating crystal structures and atomic spacing. X-ray diffraction relies on the constructive interference of monochromatic X-rays with a crystalline sample. These X-rays are produced by a cathode ray tube, filtered to create monochromatic radiation, collimated for concentration, and directed toward the sample. The diffracted rays are then collected for analysis. The angle between the incident and diffracted rays plays a critical role in all diffraction methods. While powder and single crystal diffraction differ in terms of instrumentation, this angle remains a fundamental component of all diffraction processes.

Application of XRD sample holder

X-ray powder diffraction is most widely used for the identification of unknown crystalline materials (e.g. minerals, inorganic compounds). Determination of unknown solids is critical to studies in geology, environmental science, material science, engineering and biology.

Other applications include:

• characterization of crystalline materials
• identification of fine-grained minerals such as clays and mixed layer clays that are difficult to determine optically
• determination of unit cell dimensions
• measurement of sample purity

Advantages of the XRD Sample Holder

• Powerful and rapid (< 20 min) technique for identification of an unknown mineral
• In most cases, it provides an unambiguous mineral determination
• Minimal sample preparation is required
• XRD units are widely available
• Data interpretation is relatively straight forward
