When investigating battery materials, the most commonly used tool is X-ray diffraction (XRD). By shining X-rays on a crystal ...

Plastic deformation in polycrystalline metals is usually primarily accommodated through dislocation glide, which often organizes into discrete slip bands. The evolution of plasticity is governed by ...

XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...
