X-ray Diffraction Equipment for Micro/Nanostructured Materials

The Polytechnic University of Valencia is seeking suppliers for X-ray diffraction equipment. This equipment will be used to rapidly characterize the composition of crystalline material layers, which are grown using epitaxial or other manufacturing techniques. The goal is to detect structural defects, textures, and atomic ordering in materials. X-ray crystallography is a powerful technique that analyzes materials based on the diffraction of X-rays by crystalline solids. When X-rays interact with the material, they are diffracted by the electrons surrounding the atoms, providing information about the atomic structure. The resulting diffraction pattern allows for the analysis of the material's composition and atomic organization. This opportunity is part of a significant expansion of the Nanophotonic Technology Institute's capabilities in Spain and Europe.
