2. DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY [DSC]
Calorimeter- Heat flow in sample
Differential calorimeter- Heat flow in sample vs reference as function of time
3. DSC: The Technique
• Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measures the temperature and
heat flows associated with transitions in materials as a function of time
and temperature in a controlled atmosphere.
• These measurements provide quantitative and qualitative information
about physical and chemical changes that involve endothermic or
exothermic processes or changes in heat capacity.

6. DSC measures:
• Glass transitions
• Melting and boiling points
• Crystallization time and temperature
• Percent crystallinity
• Heats of fusion and reactions
• Specific heat capacity
• Oxidative/Thermal stability
• Reaction kinetics
• Purity
9. Power Compensated DSC:
Temperature differences between the sample and reference are
‘Compensated’ for by varying the heat required to keep both pans at the
same temperature. The energy difference is plotted as a function of
sample temperature.
10. Heat-flux DSC:
Heat flux DSC utilizes as a single furnace. Heat flow into both sample and
reference material via an electrically heated constantan thermoelectric disk
and is proportional to the difference in output of the two thermocouple
junctions.
13. Operation Procedures:
Calibration of instrument
• Temperature, heat of reaction, heat capacity scale using high
purity standards (In, Sn, Bi, Pb, Au).
• Baseline correction for a given scan rate (1-40 K/min).
• Weight samples before (and maybe after) experiment.

15. Advantages:
• Rapidity of the determination
• Small sample masses
• Versatility
• Simplicity
• Applicable
• Study many types of chemical reactions
16. Disadvantages:
• Relative low accuracy and precision (5-10%)
• Not be used for overlapping reactions
• Need calibration over the entire temperature for DTA
18. X-RAY:
• An electromagnetive wave of high energy and very short wavelength
(between ultraviolet light and gamma rays), which is able to pass
through many materials opaque to light.
Energy: 100eV to 100KeV
Wavelength: 0.01 to 10 nanometer.
19. DIFFRACTION:
• The process by which a beam of light or other system of waves are
spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an
edge, typically accompanied by interference between the wave forms
produced.
20. X-RAY DIFFRACTION:
• A technique used to determine the atomic and molecular structure of a
crystal, in which the crystalline atoms cause a beam of incident X-rays
to diffract into many specific directions.
• The atomic planes of a crystal cause an incident beam of X-rays to
interfere with one another as they leave the crystal. The phenomenon
is called X-ray diffraction.
• A stream of X-rays directed at a crystal diffract and scatter as they
encounter atoms. The scattered rays interfere with each other and
produce spots of different intensities that can be recorded on film.
25. FACTORS THAT AFFECT XRD DATA:
Sample not powdered fine enough.
May not give all d-spacing data (not random enough).
Analysis too fast (degree/minutes).
May not give accurate peak data.
Mixture of minerals.
26. APPLICATION OF X-RAY DIFFRACTION:
Find structure to determine function of proteins.
Distinguish between different crystal structures with identical
compositions.
Study crystal deformation and stress properties.
Study of rapid Biological and Chemical processes.
Crystallographic applications.
