Additional information |
Bruker Diffrac.EVA software is used for peak-matching to database lines in the current International Centre for Diffraction Data, Pennsylvania, PDF-4 3+ database. The semi-quantitative analysis is performed using Sietronics Siroquant software (Version 4.0, Release 5, with database v3.0g). Radiation Safety Training is required before use. |
