Learn how synchrotron powder diffraction techniques are applied to characterize pharmaceutical compounds in this lecture from the School on Synchrotron Light Sources and Their Applications. Explore the principles and applications of synchrotron radiation for analyzing the structural properties of pharmaceutical materials, including crystalline forms, polymorphs, and other solid-state characteristics crucial for drug development and quality control. Discover how the high-intensity, tunable X-ray beams produced by synchrotron facilities enable detailed structural analysis of pharmaceutical powders with superior resolution and sensitivity compared to conventional laboratory diffraction methods. Gain insights into practical applications in pharmaceutical research, including polymorph identification, phase transitions, and structural characterization of active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients.
