Practical characterisation guides
Step-by-step materials characterisation guides with explicit assumptions and reproducible analysis choices.
Start with a practical question
A good workflow guide does not promise a one-click answer. It identifies the information worth preserving, the transformations worth documenting, and the limits that should remain visible in a figure or report.
Prepare diffraction data before assigning phases
A conservative checklist for raw exports, preprocessing, peak comparison, uncertainty, and figure preparation.

Connect the general diffraction workflow to a software-assisted review process.
Read more →Estimate an optical band gap with context
Review the measurement and model assumptions before fitting a line and reporting a value.
Read more →Written for traceability
Each note is manually written and reviewed. The aim is not to replace primary literature or instrument documentation, but to help readers recognize assumptions, record decisions, and ask better questions before interpreting a result.
