Xray Diffraction | Diffraction, X-Ray | Diffraction, Xray | Diffractions, X-Ray | Diffractions, Xray | X Ray Diffraction | X-Ray Diffractions | Xray Diffractions
The scattering of x-rays by matter, especially crystals, with accompanying variation in intensity due to interference effects. Analysis of the crystal structure of materials is performed by passing x-rays through them and registering the diffraction image of the rays (CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, X-RAY).
