crystallography

Examples of crystallography in the following topics:

• X-Ray Diffraction

  • The principle of diffraction is applied to record interference on a subatomic level in the study of x-ray crystallography.
  • In x-ray crystallography, the term for diffraction is Bragg diffraction, which is the scattering of waves from a crystalline structure.

• X-Ray Spectra: Origins, Diffraction by Crystals, and Importance

  • This process is known as x-ray crystallography because of the information it can yield about crystal structure.
  • These can be studied using x-ray crystallography.

• Diffraction Gratings: X-Ray, Grating, Reflection

  • X-ray crystallography is a method of determining the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, in which the crystalline atoms cause a beam of X-rays to diffract into many specific directions.

• X-Rays

  • Since the wavelength of hard X-rays are similar to the size of atoms, they are also useful for determining crystal structures by X-ray crystallography.
