If the angle XAY is defined as , then the angle XOY will be 2 by geometry. Also,
sin = XY/2r
If this geometry is constructed in reciprocal space, then it has some important implications.
The radius can be set to 1/, where is the wavelength of the X-ray beam.
If Y is the 000 reciprocal lattice point, and X is a general point hkl, then the distance XY is 1/d hkl
R
Hence
i.e.
= 2 d hkl sin
R
This is Bragg's Law. Effectively, the application of this circle to the reciprocal lattice defines the
points which satisfy Braggs Law (X on the diagram). Therefore the (hkl) planes corresponding to
these reciprocal points will diffract X-rays of wavelength at the angle .

Crystal lattices are three-dimensional, and hence so are their reciprocal lattices. The necessary
circle is now a sphere. This is known as the Ewald sphere.
A reciprocal lattice is constructed from the direct lattice of the crystal that is diffracting the X-rays. In this
example, the reciprocal lattice is primitive, with orthogonal axes, but this may not be the case for other
direct lattices. Note that c* is not shown for clarity.

The reciprocal lattice points are labelled with respect to the reciprocal axes.

An X-ray beam, of wavelength , is incident on the crystal. In this example, in reciprocal space, the
beam lies perpendicular to c* and almost parallel to a*. The 000 lattice point represents the
straight-through undiffracted beam. In such two-dimensional diagrams, the plane of the reciprocal
lattice shown must contain the incident X-ray beam.
The Ewald sphere, of radius 1/, is drawn. Its centre lies on the X-ray beam line. The 000 lattice
point lies on its surface, by convention. In this two-dimensional diagram, it appears as a circle.

In single crystal X-ray diffraction, it is common to rotate the crystal with respect to the X-ray beam.
This can be shown in reciprocal space by rotating the reciprocal lattice with respect to the Ewald
sphere (keeping the 000 point stationary). Here the crystal has been rotated about its c-axis.
Before rotation, no points lay on the circumference, and hence no associated planes diffracted the
X-rays. However, after rotation, lattice points can intercept the Ewald sphere's surface, such as the
220 point shown here.

( )
The reciprocal lattice point lying on the surface of the sphere satisfies Braggs Law for diffraction.
Therefore the (220) plane of the crystal satisfies the conditions for diffraction, and hence will cause
diffraction of the incident X-rays. Further rotation can result in more than one spot satisfying the
Bragg conditions, i.e. more than one set of planes will be responsible for diffraction.
This completes construction of the Ewald sphere.
Summary

Following completion of this TLP, you should have a basic understanding of the phenomenon of Xray diffraction through a crystalline material. This package has explained how to use an X-ray
diffraction experiment to reveal quantitative information about a crystal structure, through the use
of Bragg's law. The construction of the reciprocal lattice and the Ewald sphere have been
demonstrated and the equivalence with Bragg's law explained. Finally, the package has shown
some examples of how X-ray diffraction is used in real-world applications.
