Description : X-ray diffraction (XRD) is one of the most important non-destructive tools to analyze all kinds of matter—ranging from fluids, to powders and crystals. XRD is an indispensable method for materials characterization from basic lab scale research to production and engineering X-ray diffraction techniques are used for the identification of crystalline phases of various materials and the quantitative phase analysis subsequent to the identification. X-ray diffraction techniques are superior in elucidating the three-dimensional atomic structure of crystalline solids. The properties and functions of materials largely depend on the crystal structures. X-ray diffraction techniques have, therefore, been widely used as an indispensable means in materials research, development and production. The Bragg equation, n? = 2dsin? is one of the keystones in understanding X-ray diffraction. Where n is an integer, ? is the characteristic wavelength of the X-rays impinging on the crystallize sample, d is the
