Using the X-Ray Diffractometer

Using the X-Ray Diffractometer as the first step to create my superconductor. I learned that all the materials have a fingerprint. When we send X-Rays to the crystal structure of the material, the wave length bounces from the crystal structure showing a unique pattern.

We compared them with more samples already made to verify our material.

    1. It shows the integrated intensity as the measurement of the total energy of the diffracted beam when a crystal is rotated through the Bragg angle 2(θ). The pattern is unique of the material’s crystal structure. We can calculate where the peaks will be observed and determine the crystal structure of the material analyzed. The continuous line is the output from our sample while the vertical bars are the parameters expected for the material.

  1. How long are the integrations from the detector? In other words, how small of an amount can produce enough s/n to get a reading? What a cool machine.
