Applications

Koala will be useful for:

• Development and study of new pharmaceuticals - through diffraction studies of potential drug candidates.

• Modern synthetic chemistry research - using diffraction studies to fully determine specific interatomic interactions of new chemicals.

• Advanced materials research - to identify materials and to examine subtly different formulations at the interatomic scale.

• Minerals research - understanding of the structure of new phases and the effect of the different phases on processing conditions.

• Distinguishing between iso-electronic species (eg. K⁺, Cl^- or elements near each other in the periodic table).
