Malvern Panalytical X'Pert Pro is a diffractometer. Malvern Panalytical X'Pert Pro appears as an X'pert Pro MPD configuration for polycrystalline sample analysis at room temperature. Malvern Panalytical X'Pert Pro appears as an X'pert Pro MRD configuration for thin-film structural characterization at room and high temperature.[1][2]
What it is
The Malvern Panalytical X'Pert Pro is an X-ray diffractometer used for metrology and inspection in materials analysis.[3]
How it works
The X'Pert Pro MPD configuration uses a vertical theta-theta goniometer with a fixed sample stage, and the standard reflection mode keeps the sample horizontal during measurement.[1]
The X'Pert Pro MRD configuration uses a horizontal omega-two-theta goniometer in a four-circle geometry for thin-film characterization.[2]
Where it fits in the process flow
Applications
The X'Pert Pro MPD supports phase identification, quantitative phase analysis, particle size determination, and crystal structure determination by Rietveld refinement.[1]
The X'Pert Pro MRD supports phase identification, lattice parameter determination, domain orientation and stress analysis, X-ray reflectivity, rocking-curve measurements, reciprocal-space mapping, texture analysis, and grazing-incidence measurements.[2]
