X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Analysis

G-Hexa provides XRD analysis in India for phase identification, crystal structure analysis, crystallinity assessment, diffraction-pattern interpretation, and material verification. Our Bengaluru-based team reviews your sample and objective to recommend the appropriate XRD analysis route.

Suitable materials

Metals, alloys, ceramics, powders, catalysts, battery materials, coatings, thin films, minerals, and crystalline compounds.

Common objectives

Phase identification, crystallinity, crystal structure, peak comparison, material verification, and diffraction-pattern interpretation.

Before submission

Share your material type, sample condition, approximate quantity, objective, and any target phase or comparison requirement.

Quick answer: XRD analysis is used to investigate crystalline phases, crystal structure, crystallinity, and structural differences by measuring how X-rays diffract from ordered atomic planes in a material. It is commonly applied to powders, metals, ceramics, battery materials, coatings, minerals, and other suitable crystalline samples.

What XRD can reveal

What can XRD analysis reveal?

XRD analysis measures how X-rays diffract from ordered atomic planes in a material. The resulting pattern can help identify crystalline phases, compare samples, assess crystallinity, and investigate changes in crystal structure.

Peak position, relative intensity, width, and pattern shape are interpreted in relation to the material, sample preparation, measurement conditions, and the question being investigated.

Service scope

Choose the XRD analysis your investigation needs.

The appropriate analysis route depends on whether you need phase identification, crystallinity comparison, structure interpretation, or application-focused material verification.

Phase identification

Compare diffraction peaks with suitable reference information to investigate the crystalline phases present in a suitable sample.

Crystal structure and crystallinity

Assess pattern features and sample-to-sample changes related to crystalline structure and degree of order.

Pattern comparison

Compare untreated and processed materials, batches, phases, or application samples to investigate structural changes.

Working principle

How does XRD analysis work?

An X-ray source directs an incident beam toward a prepared sample. In a crystalline material, atomic planes can diffract the beam at specific angles.

A detector records the diffracted intensity as the measurement angle changes. The resulting pattern is then interpreted to investigate phase identity, crystallinity, and structural differences.

  • X-ray source: produces the incident beam used for diffraction.
  • Crystal sample: atomic planes diffract X-rays at angles related to their spacing and orientation.
  • Detector: records intensity to form the diffraction pattern.

XRD measurement, step by step

The source produces an incident X-ray beam. The prepared crystal sample diffracts part of that beam according to the spacing and orientation of its atomic planes. The detector records diffracted intensity as the angle changes, producing a pattern that can be interpreted for phase and crystal-structure information.

Pattern interpretation

How are XRD patterns used for phase analysis?

Different crystalline phases produce characteristic diffraction features. Comparing peak positions and relative intensities can help investigate whether a target phase is present and whether processing or composition has changed the pattern.

Pattern interpretation should account for sample preparation, preferred orientation, peak overlap, amorphous content, and the quality of available reference information.

  • Phase-related peak and pattern comparison
  • Crystallinity and structural-change observations
  • Comparison of treated, untreated, or different-batch samples
  • Application-specific interpretation based on the agreed objective

Common questions

XRD analysis FAQs.

XRD analysis is used to investigate crystalline phases, crystal structure, crystallinity, material verification, and structural differences between samples. It is commonly applied to powders, metals, ceramics, battery materials, coatings, minerals, and other suitable crystalline materials.

XRD can help identify crystalline phases by comparing diffraction features with suitable reference information. Interpretation depends on sample preparation, peak overlap, amorphous content, preferred orientation, and the quality of the available data.

XRD may be suitable for powders, metals, alloys, ceramics, catalysts, battery materials, coatings, thin films, minerals, and crystalline compounds. Suitability depends on sample form, quantity, surface condition, and the required measurement.

XRD can reveal broad scattering features and may help compare amorphous or partially crystalline materials. The information available depends on the proportion of amorphous content, sample preparation, and the measurement objective.

Share the material type, sample form, approximate quantity or dimensions, expected phase or comparison, and the information you need from the analysis. Clear photographs and any reference composition are helpful where available.
