X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a technique used to determine the structure of a crystal. It is based on the fact that X-rays of a certain wavelength can be diffracted by the atoms in a crystal, and the resulting diffraction pattern can be used to calculate the positions of the atoms in the crystal.
What is X-ray diffraction?
X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength that is shorter than visible light. When X-rays are shone on a crystal, they can be diffracted by the atoms in the crystal. The resulting diffraction pattern is a series of spots that are arranged in a specific pattern. The positions of the spots in the diffraction pattern can be used to calculate the positions of the atoms in the crystal.
