Thermodiffractometry
Phase transitions (magnetic ordering, crystallisation, amorphisation, dehydration, etc.)
Magnetism
Determination of magnetic structures and observation of weak magnetic peaks.
Kinetics
Dynamic studies in solid state chemistry (concrete hardening, batteries, hydrogen storage, self-propagating high temperature synthesis, clathrate formation, etc...).
Multi-stroboscopy
Dynamic studies on particle orientation in flowing systems (rheology), relaxation of LASER-induced excited states, cyclic application of mechanical load to composite materials.
Texture
Quantitative texture analysis of composite materials, archaeological and geological samples, and bone.
Very small samples
High-pressure prepared samples, in situ experiments at extreme conditions (P or T) and isotopically substituted materials.
Highly absorbing samples
Materials containing natural Sm, Li, Gd, Eu, B, etc...
Disordered systems
Coordination spheres in solids and liquids.
Physisorption
Structure of adsorbed solid layers.
