Interference and Diffraction
X-ray diffraction is a
combination of two
phenomena,
coherent scatter and
interference.
Interference and Diffraction
n λ = 2d sin θ
where
n (an integer) is the "order" of reflection,
λ is the wavelength of the incident X-rays,
d is the spacing between the planes in the atomic lattice
θ is the angle between the incident ray and the
scattering planes.
Why XRD?
• Measure the average spacings between
layers or rows of atoms
• Determine the orientation of a single
crystal or grain
• Find the crystal structure of an unknown
material
• Measure the size, shape and internal
stress of small crystalline regions
T: X-ray source,
S: specimen,
C: detector,
O: the axis
around which the
specimen and
detector rotate.

Case Study 1
• A crystal cubic have a unit cell of 4.2Å with wavelength of 1.54Å.
Determine the angle (2θ) to measure the (101) peak?
Case Study 1
Solution:
(a) The value of the interplanar spacing is determined using (b) The value of may now be calculate using
equation equation n = 2dsin with n =1 since this is a
first-order reflection:
