Diffraction angles

Interplanar Spacings. Diffractometer alignment procedures require the use of a well-prepared polycrystalline specimen. Two standard samples found to be suitable are silicon and a-quartz (including Novaculite). The 26 values of several of the most intense reflections for these materials are listed in Table 7.6 (Tables of Interplanar Spacings d vs. Diffraction Angle 26 for Selected Targets, Picker Nuclear, White Plains, N.Y., 1966). To convert to d for Ka or to d for Ka2, multiply the tabulated d value (Table 7.6) for Ka by the factor given below ... 

This section briefly discusses the fundamental principles of XRD the reader is referred to the works by Warren, Cullity, and Schwartz and Cohen for more detail. " Figure 1 shows the basic features of an XRD experiment, where the diffraction angle 20 is the angle between the incident and diffracted X rays. In a typical... 

If the energy of the incident beam or the angle of incidence is changed, the diffraction angles 0hk adjust to continue to sadsfy the Laue condidons. For example, if the energy is increased, the endre pattern will appear to shrink around the (00) beam because Oy becomes smaller.

The information stored in the specimen database is sufficient to identify the particular specimen and the material from which it is made. Other parameters provide information on the orientation of the specimen and on its unit cell parameters. These latter parameters are used by the data collection tasks and the crystal geometry calculation function to determine diffraction angles, the angles between crystal planes, etc. The user can store information on several specimens in the specimen database, thus permitting him to easily remount and rerun a specimen after looking at the collected data. 

TRXRD detects the propagation of coherent acoustic phonons as a transient change in the diffraction angles. In contrast, the atomic motions associated with coherent optical phonons modify only the Bragg peak intensity, because they do not change the barycentric positions of the crystal lattice. The Bragg peak intensity is proportional to the squared modulus of the structure factor [1,3,4] ... 

In addition to the dynamic disorder caused by temperature-dependent vibration of atoms, protein crystals have static disorder due to the fact that molecules, or parts of molecules, do not occupy exactly the same position or do not have exactly the same orientation in the crystal unit cell. However, unless data are collected at different temperatures, one cannot distinguish between dynamic and static disorder. Because of protein crystal disorder, the diffraction pattern fades away at some diffraction angle 0max. The corresponding lattice distance <7mm is determined by Bragg s law as shown in equation 3.7 ...
