Scope: determination of Fe content/purity and impurity elements (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Al, Si, Mn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Zn, As, etc.) Instrumentation: ICP-OES (major Fe + common impurities, ppm level) / ICP-MS (trace impurities, ppb level) 1. Method Overview ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectrometry): major Fe content + common impurities (0.001%–100%), fast and cost-effective ICP...

What Size Do XRD, SEM and TEM Actually Measure? X-ray diffraction (XRD) records how a crystal scatters X-rays, conventionally with the diffraction angle 2θ on the horizontal axis and diffracted intensity on the vertical axis. A periodic arrangement of atoms produces diffraction peaks, and the width of a peak is related to the distance over which that arrangement remains coherent. The coherent doma...
