Extract

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and variable temperature x-ray diffraction (XRD) are two complementary techniques which provide thermal and structural information. By using DSC and XRD simultaneously, one can directly correlate the results from the two techniques. The simultaneous measurements eliminate problems which might arise due to sample inhomogeneity and instrumental differences. In addition, the DSC provides precise control over temperature, and heating and cooling rates.
