Advancing Materials Research with Modern XRD, SAXS and Mechanical Surface Characterization

Modern X-ray diffraction XRD and SAXS are key techniques for advancing materials research. Today’s systems not only deliver reliable routine measurements, but also enable advanced studies under non-ambient conditions, nanoparticle size and shape analysis, and thin-film characterization. Beyond structure, understanding the Mechanical Surface Properties of Materials is equally important. Through indentation, scratch testing, and tribology, researchers can assess hardness, coating adhesion, and friction to gain a complete picture of performance from the macro to the ultra-nanoscale.

Seminar Format:

Morning Session – Theoretical Insights
Explore the principles and applications of XRD, SAXS, and mechanical surface characterization techniques such as nanoindentation, scratch testing, and tribology, with examples across metals, polymers, ceramics, nanostructures, and other advanced materials.

Afternoon Session – Hands-On Demonstration
Take part in a live XRD measurement on a sample, with demonstrations of nanoindentation, scratch testing, and tribological analysis. Bring your own sample!

Join us for a seminar showcasing the potential of the XRDynamic 500 with a focus on non-ambient XRD measurements and advanced mechanical surface characterization.
