Explain:
a) The similarity between the electron and the X-ray diffraction
patterns of aluminium.
b) The line in the hydrogen atom spectrum splits into two when
placed in a magnetic field.
c) The appearance of coloured lines for H atom in the Balmer series
while the Lyman series can only be observed with an ultraviolet
lamp.
The first four peaks in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of
sodalite are at 2 values of 9.97°, 14.12°, 17.32° and 20.02°. The
radiation used for the experiment was Cu K with = 1.5418 Å.
Determine the lattice type and calculate the length, a, of the
cubic unit-cell.
Using powder X-ray diffraction to analyse a metal compound, a
simple pattern of peaks resulted, where the largest peak existed at
an angle of 2θ= 19.8°. However, when a similar sample was analysed
that contained a metallic impurity, this 2θ value became 22.4°.
What does this suggest is happening to the crystal lattice and
why?
Do you expect to get a different x-ray diffraction pattern for
two samples of pure Aluminum: Sample #1 – a cube 1cm x 1cm x 1cm in
size, or Sample #2 - a powder of aluminum with a particle size
diameter of 1 mm?
a) you observe that an X-ray diffraction pattern has a strong
peak at 2 theta=100.7 degrees. using the following facts, calculate
the d spacing for this peak (given-wevelenght
xray=0.154nm,sin100.7=0.98,sin50.35=0.77
b) How many atoms are in a Hypothetical diamond cubic structure
with double the number of internal atoms and superimposed body
centered cubic atom
c) Calculate the packing factor for face centered cubic crystal
that has a centeral impurity atom that fills the interstitial
space
what are two experimental considerations when running PXRD
(powder X-ray diffraction) using a flat disk sample
holder? And why is the scan time and 2theta range
important parameters in the experiment?
