XRD is a primarily used to study crystalline materials . It relies on the fact that X-ray wavelengths are similar to the distance between atoms in a crystal lattice—roughly 0.1 to 10 nanometers.
X-Ray Diffraction Imaging: Technology and Applications Since the discovery of X-rays in the 1890s, the ability to "see" through matter has revolutionized science and medicine. But beyond standard medical X-rays lies a more powerful technique: . Unlike traditional imaging that provides a "shadow" of an object, XRD interacts with the atomic structure of materials, offering a "fingerprint" of their internal composition.
