Welcome
The Structure Determination Methods Group develops and disseminates measurement science, standards, and technology for the determination of the structures of advanced materials via: standard reference materials; standard reference databases; X-ray, electron, and neutron diffraction methods; synchrotron and neutron scattering methods; and computational tools. The Group’s activities are carried out in five project areas: Diffraction Metrology, Thin Film X-ray Reflectometry, Local Structure, Phase Equilibrium Data, and Crystallographic Databases. Programs/Projects
Carbon Mitigation Measurements—The global environmental problems caused by emission of CO2 (global warming, rising sea levels and increased acidity of oceans) must be abated. New solid sorbent materials are sought for CO2 … Thin Film X-Ray Reflectometry—Our goal is to develop Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) and quantitative, reproducible X-ray reflectometry (XRR) data analysis methods to enable accurate measurement of film thickness, … Measurement and Prediction of Local Structure —Our goal is to provide analytical tools that allow measurement and prediction of local structure to enable the development of ceramic materials for electronic applications. Under this project, we … Diffraction Metrology and Standards—Our objective is the development of Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) and quantitative, reproducible, and accurate measurement methods for characterization of any structure possessing spatial … Crystallographic Databases—Our objective is to provide critically evaluated, comprehensive crystal structure databases to enable materials identification required for the development of inorganic materials and devices. Our … Ceramic Phase Equilibrium Data—Our objective is to compile, evaluate, determine, and disseminate phase equilibrium data to facilitate and optimize the development, processing, and usage of advanced ceramic materials.
