Phase identification

Identify XRD phases with visible evidence.

SciPhys turns a diffraction pattern into a reviewable phase assignment with matched peaks, missing peaks, unexplained peaks, reference sticks and scientific notes.

Top phases

Review likely phases without hiding uncertainty.

Unmatched peaks

See which peaks still need impurity, substrate or artifact checks.

Evidence

Keep peak positions, reference sticks and interpretation together.

What it does

Built around scientific evidence.

Built for real student XRD data

Experimental scans rarely look like textbook patterns. SciPhys keeps weak peaks, broad peaks, shifted peaks and noisy regions visible so the user can judge whether the phase call is credible.

  • Inspect observed peaks alongside candidate reference patterns.
  • Separate confident matches from unresolved or suspicious peaks.
  • Use composition hints and sample context to narrow candidates.

Multi-phase and impurity review

The most useful phase identification workflow is not only the main phase. It should help new researchers understand what may be secondary, missing, shifted or unexplained.

  • Compare primary and impurity phase candidates.
  • Track missing strong reference peaks before accepting a result.
  • Explain why a single strong peak is not enough evidence.

Connected to the lab record

A phase decision becomes more valuable when it is saved with the file, sample, project, measurement details and future advisor review.

  • Save phase evidence in the same workspace as the raw file.
  • Export tables and figures for group meetings or papers.
  • Search later by material system, student, project or conclusion.

Workflow

From raw files to research decisions.

01

Upload

Import raw, xy, csv, txt or xrdml diffraction files.

02

Identify

Detect peaks and match candidates against reference patterns.

03

Review

Check matched, missing and unexplained peaks before exporting.

FAQ

Questions researchers ask first.

Can SciPhys identify impurity phases?+

SciPhys is designed to surface unexplained peaks and candidate secondary phases so impurity assignments can be reviewed instead of hidden.

Does phase identification work without a composition hint?+

The workflow can suggest candidates from the pattern, but composition hints and sample metadata make the search more reliable.

What evidence should I check before accepting a phase?+

Check multiple matched peaks, missing strong reference peaks, unexplained observed peaks, peak shifts, instrument settings and sample context.
