Document Summary
X-ray diffraction (xrd) is a powerful analytical tool that can be used to identify crystalline materials and quantify weight fractions in samples with multiple phases. Xrd finds use in a wide range of applications including mineralogy and whole rock analysis, speciation and quantification of clay fractions, catalyst characterization, fly ash beneficiation, and analysis of scales and corrosion products. In this report, we demonstrate how x-ray diffraction can allow for the crystal structure of a material to be identified by using bragg"s law. List of nomenclature and list of figures and tables. Wavelength of x-ray d inter-planar spacing n diffraction order a lattice parameter. Figure 5 intensity of the diffracted beam vs. diffraction angle for fcc aluminum. Figure 6 intensity of the diffracted beam vs. diffraction angle for bcc steel. Table 1 analysis of the diffraction pattern for fcc aluminum using data collected from the x-ray diffraction machine.
