Funded Activity Summary

Microdiffraction: Advanced capabilities for spatial resolution, trace phase detection and solid object analysis. Microdiffraction: advanced capabilities for spatial resolution, trace phase detection and solid object analysis: Microdiffraction offers two principal capacities that traditional powder diffraction (PD) facilities cannot: it enables small areas to be examined on a spatially resolved basis enabling identification, and it enables analysis of minor, but frequently crucial phases and analysis of samples that are not in a powder form thus enabling non-destructive examination. These capabilities provide powerful complementary capacity to existing SEM, QEM-SCAN, ToF-SIMS and PD facilities. Potential and existing applications are numerous and include minerals analyses; forensic applications; micro-electronics; corrosion analyses; art analysis/conservation; archaeology; materials; polymers; thin films; dielectric properties; liquid crystals; and drug characterisation.
