Qualitative identification of the crystalline phases present in samples using the X-ray diffraction technique. Through a combination of analytical techniques (stoichiometry, RIR-Rietveld, etc.), the results can be presented quantitatively, depending on the nature of the samples. Particularly useful for the identification and quantification of minerals present in samples of raw materials, as well as for the identification of crystalline phases present in synthetic compounds and products that exhibit crystallinity.
