Multivariate analysis (MA) is becoming a fundamental tool for processing in an efficient way
the large amount of data collected in X-ray diffraction experiments. Multi-wedge data …

In situ and operando spectroscopic techniques are crucial for our understanding of complex
heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. Under actual reaction conditions, however, many …

The RootProf computer program applies multivariate model-free analysis to crystallographic
data and to any x, y experimental data in general. It has been enhanced with several new …

Alkaline water electrolysis based on durable electrocatalysts made from Earth-abundant
metals like nickel is a crucial energy storage technology for the transition to renewable …

The physical origin of the piezoelectric effect has been the focus of much research work.
While it is commonly accepted that the origins of piezoelectricity may be intrinsic (related to …

We analyze the application of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for untangling the main
contributions to changing diffracted intensities upon variation of site occupancy and lattice …

Periodic modulation of external conditions on a crystalline sample with a consequent
analysis of periodic diffraction response has been recently proposed as a tool to enhance …

The development of two solid-state reactions, Xe absorption into MFI and molecular complex
formation, where samples are affected by changes of crystal lattice due to temperature or …

Solid-state reactivity is often studied by in situ experiments with a multi-technique approach,
where complementarity of different probes is exploited. In situ data are usually analysed …

We have developed a general X‐ray powder diffraction (XPD) methodology for the
simultaneous structural and compositional characterization of inorganic nanomaterials. The …
