What are x-rays and how are they formed? What determines the wavelength and intensity of an x-ray? What is a crystalline compound? Define Braggs Law and how it relates to x-ray diffraction. What is the wavelength of Copper K radiation? How does the wavelength of Cu K radiation relate to (typical) intermolecular distances in crystals. Name the basic components of the XRD and their function. What detector do we use? Explain how it works.

25.5
How can K radiation be removed from the pattern? In a simple mixture, what approximate minimum percentage of a compound must be present for detection? How are samples prepared for analysis by XRD? What are the advantages/disadvantages of the XRD?
The trainee will prepare, examine, and perform database searches on 10 different known powders provided by the trainer. The results will be compared with library standards. The trainee will prepare, examine, and perform database searches on 10 different known powder mixtures provided by the trainer. The exercise will include using a variety of sample holders, including the zero background plate.
The trainer and the trainee will review and discuss the pertinent points of each of the required readings.
25.2
Competency Evaluation and Mock Trial The trainee will use x-ray powder diffraction when completing their subdiscipline competency test and will defend their results as a part of their mock trial in that subdiscipline.
