The phenomenon of diffraction has been known for centuries, and numerous applications of its effects have been developed. In this webinar, "Applied Mineralogy: Insights from Powder Diffraction," mineralogy and crystallography experts from the University of Rome will explore the fundamental principles and applications of diffraction in mineralogy.

Join this presentation to get a comprehensive overview of the ways that diffraction techniques can be applied to mineralogy:

• Hear about historical experiments that established diffraction as a tool for probing atomic structures.

• Get insights into the specifics of powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), including sample preparation, interpretation of diffraction patterns, and more.

• Learn about the challenges of phase identification, and understand the significance of amorphous phase quantification in environmental studies.

The webinar will also cover advanced structural determination techniques, as illustrated through a case study on the encapsulation of organic UV filters in zeolite matrices.

The featured speakers for this webinar are Giorgia Confalonieri, PhD, Tenure Track Researcher in Mineralogy and Crystallography; and Paolo Ballirano, Full Professor presso University of Rome "La Sapienza." The webinar will be moderated by Thermo Fisher Scientific's Carlotta Giacobbe, Product Manager for X-ray diffraction.
