Which technique(s) can help answer my questions?

Broadly speaking, the wide range of techniques available at Diamond can be divided into three groups: diffraction techniques (which gives us structural information), spectroscopic techniques (which gives us specific chemical/elemental information) and imaging. One of these techniques, or a combination may help to answer your questions. Please click here to read more about the techniques available at Diamond.
