FXD-CSD-GUI

FXD-CSD-GUI computes crystallite size distributions from Bragg intensities obtained by X-ray diffraction using the FXD-CSD method and two-dimensional detectors.

Key Features:

• FXD-CSD method: Implements the FXD-CSD approach for rapid acquisition and analysis of numerous Bragg spots using two-dimensional detectors to enable high-throughput measurement.
• Bragg intensity analysis: Analyzes Bragg intensities to infer crystallite size distributions from X-ray diffraction data.
• Output formats: Produces results in graphical and numerical formats for quantitative and visual assessment of crystal size distributions.
• Implementation: Provided as a Python-based application for computational processing of diffraction data.

Scientific Applications:

• Materials science: Determination of crystallite size distributions to characterize microstructure and relate size to material properties.
• Chemistry: Quantification of crystal size for studies of crystallization, polymorphism, and reaction-controlled particle formation.
• Pharmaceuticals: Assessment of crystallite size distributions to inform formulation stability and performance related to active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Methodology:

Analyze Bragg intensities from X-ray diffraction data acquired with two-dimensional detectors using the FXD-CSD method to infer crystallite size distributions.
