• Why do we study X ray diffraction?
• What is the advantage of having a data of X-ray
diffraction?
Solid matter consists out of two types of material:
amorphous and crystalline.
In an amorphous sample the atoms are arranged in a
random way, glasses are an example of amorphous
materials.
In a crystalline sample the atoms are arranged in a
regular or ordered pattern and there is a smallest
volume element that, by repetition in three
dimensions, can describe the crystal.
This smallest volume element is called a unit cell
About 95% of all solid materials can be described as crystalline

X Ray diffraction process is used to determine the crystal
structure of material.
A collision between two hard things, like The Pre-collision kinetic energy can be used
billiard balls, is a good example to cause an internal state change in one of
the colliding objects. These changes can
include change in temperature and
deformation etc. A car accident is a good
example.
No change in wavelength.
The direction of propagation of the colliding The direction of propagation may or may
subjects might change however the initial not change depending on the collision
and final kinetic energy stays the same. however, kinetic energy is lost.
• The term particle size and crystallite size refer to two distinct
properties in a material. Particles comprise of several small
crystallite. Crystallite size is the fundamental property of
materials. Properties of nanomaterials depend on crystals
size and not particle size. PXRD can measure millions of
crystals and accurately determine the size distribution of
nanomaterials. It can be widely used for studying the nature
of polymers and composites in Material Science
