P AUL SCHERRER INSTITUT Technology Transfer R&D Services Neutron Powder Diffraction Investigation of crystal structures Introduction Figure 2: HRPT: Powder diffractometer. X-rays vs. Neutrons For many decades X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) has been an established and versatile tool for manifold applications in material science and engineering. It is well known as a rapid analytical method, used for both routine examination and scientific charac- terization of crystalline materials. Neutron powder diffraction in terms of its principles of operation is similar to X-ray diffraction. Contrary to X-rays, however, which interact primarily with the electron cloud surrounding each atom of a ...
