Powder X-ray diffraction belongs among standard methods of solid matters analysis. It provides information about phase composition of sample (qualitative and quantitative phase analysis), and crystal structure of matters (crystal structural analysis). Application is also used at textural research (texture analysis), determination of crystallite size,strains and defects in crystals.
