| Abstract | X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a common technique in geoscience to identify and characterize earth materials. This project will acquire a modern X-ray diffractometer that is accessible for undergraduate students. This replacement instrument will support four faculty researchers, their student research teams, and seven classes across two departments. Employment trends of alumni show that XRD is essential to a variety of industries, including materials science, industrial health, and environmental sit |
