Under the experimental condition that all Bragg peaks in a powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern have the same shape, one can readily obtain the Bragg intensities without fitting any parameters. This condition is fulfilled at the P02.1 beamline at PETRA III using the seventh harmonic from a 23 mm-period undulator (6…

Binding energy between adsorbent and adsorbate strongly affects the mechanism of adsorption. Porous systems are usually characterized by a distribution of this energy, which is not easy to determine experimentally. A coupled experimental-simulation procedure to estimate binding energy directly from experimental adsorp…
