Troubleshooting XRD Image Analysis on PZT Thin Film

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the analysis of an XRD image of a PZT thin film using JADE software, where the user struggles to identify the correct space group. The assumption that the crystal system is cubic is challenged, as piezoelectric materials, including PZT, are not cubic and lack centro-symmetry. It is noted that PZT possesses a perovskite crystal structure, which is crucial for accurate analysis. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the crystal structure in piezoelectric materials to achieve correct results in XRD analysis.

I have the XRD image of a PZT thin film. While trying to analyze it with JADE software I can not find the proper space group.So it is not giving me the answer I am looking for. I assumed the crystal system to be cubic.

PZT has a perovskite crystal structure.
 

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
