The facilities of the powder X-ray diffraction section allow the application of different techniques, covering a wide offer in the analysis development through X-ray diffraction.

• Optimisation of measurement programmes for obtaining diffractograms,according to the needs of users.
• Preparation and adaptation of samples depending on amount, size and nature, for the analysis by X-ray diffraction.
• Analysis by X-ray diffraction of polycrystalline materials.
• Analysis by X-ray diffraction by samples at low angles.
• Analysis by X-ray diffraction using grazing incidence.
• Analysis by X-ray diffraction in high temperature conditions, up to 1.200ºC.
• X-ray diffraction using high resolution.
• Identification of crystalline phases for the users who require it through Diffrac EVA software, in combination with the data base ICCD-2010.
• Software Diffrac EVA “on-line” for the interpretation of results.
• Software Topas.
• Thermodifferential analysis and thermogravimetric analysis (DTA-TG) until 1.300ºC.
