X-Ray Diffraction and its Applications
This eLearning module is on the basic principles and applications of X-Ray Diffraction - a technique used in the study of crystal structures, and atomic spacing. characterization
Material types: Crystalline and amorphous
Constructive and destructive interference and diffraction pattern from a crystalline material
Basics of X-ray diffraction and Bragg’s law
Diffractogram: Diffraction angle vs diffracted X-ray intensity
Applications of X-ray diffraction: Quantitative and qualitative analysis
Diffractometer and its components
X-ray source, optics, and typical detectors
Calibration of instrument and sample preparation
Methods used for XRD measurements
Operating the diffractometer
Precautions while handling the diffractometer
Why it matters
An X-Ray diffractometer is used for Phase identification\, Phase detection and Phase quantification\, texture and orientation analysis\, order-disorder transformation\, and Lattice parameter determination of crystal structures. Understanding the science behind X_Ray diffraction can enable analysts to perform QC experiments correctly and get to the root cause of any errors.
Who is it for
Personnel in production\, analytical quality\, including quality control and quality assurance who use this technique should complete this module.
