X-ray diffraction applications

Interference of Waves. The coherent scattering property of x-rays is used in x-ray diffraction applications. Two waves traveling in the same direction with identical wavelengths, X, and equal amplitudes (the intensity of a wave is equal to the square of its amplitude) can interfere with each other so that the resultant wave can have anywhere from zero amplitude to two times the amplitude of one of the initial waves. This principle is illustrated in Figure 1. The resultant ampHtude is a function of the phase difference between the two initial waves. 

In this discussion of x-rays and catalysis, no attempt wi) be made to review critically the extensive literature dealing with the subject. Such extensive reviews have been presented by others, notably by Prof. W. O. Milligan at Gibson Island in 1944. Rather, a general discussion of the techniques of x-ray diffraction applicable to the study of catalysis vill be presented followed by a few specific applications of these methods as carried out by the authors and their colleagues.
