Single Crystal X-ray Diffractometer

A Single-Crystal X-ray Diffractometer is a highly specialised scientific instrument designed for precise elucidation of the atomic structure of crystalline materials. It provides detailed insights into the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms within a single crystal, offering comprehensive information on its crystallographic and electronic properties.

Operating on the fundamental principle of X-ray diffraction, the instrument bombards a single crystal with X-rays, capturing and analysing the resulting diffraction pattern. This process enables the determination of the crystal's unit cell parameters, atom positions, and symmetry elements, providing a detailed representation of its atomic structure.
