Computational methodologies for the characterization of polycrystalline materials in software developed by the Institute of Crystallography

A polycrystalline material or 'powder' is an ensemble of several randomly oriented crystallites. The size of the elementary crystals is of the order of micrometer. Microcrystalline compounds cannot be singled out to be characterized in the same way as single crystals. Chemical matter, drugs, minerals, heritage manufacts can be available or can be reduced in the form of crystalline powders.....
