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) Explain why XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and TEM (Transmission
Electron Microscopy) techniques are suitable in examining the unit
cells and crystal structures of solids. (b) Calculate the expected
diffraction angle (θ) for the first order reflection from the (310)
planes of BCC chromium (Cr) when a monochromatic X-ray radiation of
wavelength (λ) 0.757 Ao is used.
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?
