How do we determine the structure of a piece of crystalline solid? You can probe the atomic arrangements by X-ray diffraction (XRD)
X-Ray Diffraction Diffracted Beam ≡ Bragg Reflection Sample Incident Beam Transmitted Beam Braggs Law (Part 1): For every diffracted beam there exists a set of crystal lattice planes such that the diffracted beam appears to be specularly reflected from this set of planes.
r i plane X-Ray Diffraction Braggs Law (Part 1): the diffracted beam appears to be specularly reflected from a set of crystal lattice planes. Specular reflection:Angle of incidence =Angle of reflection (both measured from the plane and not from the normal) The incident beam, the reflected beam and the plane normal lie in one plane

Cu target, Wavelength = 1.5418 Angstrom • Unknown sample, cubic • Determine: • The crystal structure • Lattice parameter
5 step program for the determination of crystal structure • Start with 2θ values and generate a set of sin2θ values • Normalise the sin2θ values by dividing it with first entry • Clear fractions from normalised column: Multiply by • common number • 4) Speculate on the hkl values that, if expressed as • h2+k2+l2, would generate the sequence of the “clear • fractions” column • 5) Compute for each sin2θ /(h2+k2+l2) on the basis of the • assumed hkl values. If each entry in this column is identical, • then the entire process is validated.
