Expert Solution

X rays are electromagnetic radiation having high energy abd wavelengths comparable to atomic spacings. with Diffraction occures when a wave (X ray here) encountering a regularly spaced obstacles (atoms in powder or solids here) and spacings comparable to X ray waves(atomic spacing).

Consider two plane of atoms A-a and B-b with same miller indices separated by an interesting spacing if d_hkl. WWhen iimpinimpingedimpinge by a monochromatic in phase X rays two rays are scattered as shown below.

High intensity peaks are observed for some crystallographic planes which are material specific. Diffraction pattern will be different based on the crystal structure.

Discuss the importance and key role of Bragg’s law in X-ray diffraction experiments. Describe the developments in experimental approaches, advances in instrumentation and techniques in X-ray diffraction experiments from the era of von Laue to the present day. The relative intensity of Bragg reflections in X-ray powder diffraction experiments is affected by several factors. Discuss these factors and how these issues arise with an explanation of how they are corrected (with the use of suitable diagrams where appropriate). Compare and...
