Abstract.
The aim of the X-ray Diffraction Laboratory at the Centro de Física Aplicada y Tecnología Avanzada (Center of
Applied Physics and Advanced Technology) in the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) is
focused on the study of the structure of many materials, such as metals, minerals, polymers, catalysts,
pharmaceutical products, liquid crystals, organic materials, thin films, ceramics, semiconductors, etc., through
several techniques related to X - ray Diffraction. With a unique configuration, the equipment has an ultra-fast
solid state detector, which allows to implement, among others, the following techniques: phase identification
and phase quantitative analysis, structural refinement, microstructural analysis (crystallite size and micro
strains), residual stress, thin film analysis (reflectometry), pole figures, small angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS),
textural analysis, non-environmental condition analysis (High temperature chamber that can reach 1500°C),
etc. These techniques are useful for research in basic science and have great applications in different industries
such as Pharmaceutical, Mining, Metal-Mechanical, Automotive, Food, Construction, Electronics, Ceramics,
nanotechnology, catalysis, among others. In this poster, examples of the different configurations and
applications that are being exploited in the laboratory are shown.
