  1. X-Ray Diffraction and X-Ray Crystallography

  2. Diffraction • Diffraction: the various phenomena that are associated with wave propagation (e.g., bending and interference of waves) when the wave passes by an object that disrupts the wave.

  3. Diffraction • The complex patterns of a diffracted wave result from interference between different rays that traveled to the observer along different paths.

  4. Diffraction • Diffraction effects are most noticeable when the wavelength of waves is similar to the size of the diffracting objects or apertures. • http://www.ngsir.netfirms.com/applets/diffraction/2X/Diffraction.htm

  5. Diffraction of Visible Light • Visible light is diffracted by slits/objects that are spaced at ~ 500 nm (0.5μm)

  6. X-Rays and Crystals • Wavelengths of x-rays are around 10 to 0.01 nanometers, approximately one thousand times shorter than the wavelength of visible light. • X-rays should be diffracted by slits/objects ~ 0.1 nm(1 Angstrom)

  7. X-Rays and Crystals • Spacing of atoms in a crystal lattice are in the order of 0.1 nm • X-rays have wavelengths in the order of 0.1 nm • X-rays are diffracted by crystals

  9. X-Rays and Crystals • In 1919 A.W. Hull noted the following: • Every crystalline substance can produce an x-ray diffraction pattern; • The same substance always gives the same pattern; • A mixture of substances each produces its pattern independently of the others. • The diffraction pattern of a pure substance is like a fingerprint of the substance • Minerals can be identified by their diffraction pattern
