Structural Analysis of Nanomaterials
Structural Analysis of Nanomaterials. Instructor: Prof. Kaushik Pal, Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, IIT Roorkee. Structural analysis of nanomaterials is an important part of Materials Science and Nanoscience and Nanotechnology which deals with the study of crystal structure of materials and their defects. It is a prerequisite for the understanding of properties of nanomaterials to have a detailed knowledge of the structure from the atomic/molecular (local) level to the crystal structure and to the microstructure (mesoscopic scale and defect structure). The primary goal of structural analysis of nanomaterials is aiming at both investigating the structure-property relationship and discovering new properties, in order to achieve relevant improvements in current state-of-the art materials.

| Lecture 17 - Quantitative Analysis by Diffraction |
In this lecture, different methods of quantitative analysis by X-ray diffraction technique have been discussed. X-ray diffraction is used for quantitative phase analysis of multi-phase materials and have lesser uncertainty than other methods. The quantitative analysis methods discussed are: internal standard, external standard, direct comparison, RIR, and Rietveld methods.
