Powder X-Ray Diffraction (1 out of 2)

Показать описание
Powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) allows the determination of crystallographic density and hence crystal structure of unknown crystalline solids. X-rays are diffracted by atoms in a plane and a spherical wave is radiated. If there are two or more such scattering centres, the spherical waves at specific angles reinforce one another (constructive interference) and at other angles cancel one another (destructive interference). A crystal with planes oriented at an angle θ to an incident x-ray beam of wavelength λ will diffract the rays according to Bragg's equation: 2dsinθ = nλ.

In video (1 out of 2), the concept of XRD will be illustrated for compound Tungsten which has a BCC structure using planes 110 and 200.

In video (2 out of 2), with the Bragg’s angle θ obtained from the Powder XRD Spectrum, the unit cell length and volume and hence the experimental crystallographic density (g/cm3) is calculated. Interplanar distance is also determined.

Nice video and I really like the animations! I think it would be much more helpful for beginners if you would add some explanation (although the music is nice). Just please do NOT call it a spectrum! It's a diffractogram!

Hi may i know what music did u use? I feel calm

at 4:25 what are the values A, D and I and how did you determine that the structure is BCC? thanks

Hi sir, I have a doubt why it show highest peak in xrd pattern.i think maximim x ray fall on same crystal point so for that show maximum peak, is true sir

Little explanation would have been much better

Thanx for video...Suppose we get highest intensity at some theta in 200 plane...what is that physically mean to?

Need some explanation as clip is not explicit
