Applied Mineralogy: Insights from Powder Diffraction

Applied Mineralogy: Insights from Powder Diffraction

Diffraction has long revealed the structure of matter — from Young’s double-slit experiment to Laue’s work with X-rays and crystals. In this webinar, experts from the University of Rome will explore how diffraction continues to advance modern mineralogy.

Topics include:

Fundamentals of powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD)
Sample preparation and diffraction pattern interpretation
Extracting meaningful information from PXRD data

The session will also cover:

Phase identification challenges, including asbestos detection
Quantitative analysis and amorphous phase evaluation in environmental studies

To conclude, presenters will share a real-world case study on determining the structure of encapsulated organic UV filters using XRPD and Rietveld refinement.

Moderated by Carlotta Giacobbe, Product Manager - X-ray diffraction, Thermo Fisher Scientific
