 Definition
XRD analysis is a method that can provide information about the types of minerals
contained in a sample. X-ray diffraction data in the form of X-ray diffraction spectra
were detected by the detector and then the diffraction data was recorded and recorded by
the computer in the form of peak intensity graph, which further analyzed the distance
between the crystal lattice plan and compared with Bragg's law on the computer using
certain software so that can generate the data
XRD Working Principle
The XRD consists of three main
parts, the X-ray tube, the object
being examined, and the X-ray
detector. The X-rays are
generated in the X-ray tube.
When the electrons have high
energy levels and crash into the
electrons in the object to produce
X-rays. And a rotating detector to
capture and record the intensity
of X-ray reflections.
1. The high voltage generator (A) functions as an X-ray source power supply (B)
2. The pellet-shaped sample (C) is placed on an adjustable platen (D).
3. The X-ray beam is inspired by the sample and is focused through the gap (E), then
into the counter (F). If the sample rotates by 2 then the counter is equal to
4. The intensity of X-ray diffraction is recorded in the form of curves to the distance
between planes d.
 ADVANTAGES
The advantage of using X-rays in
material characterization is its penetration
ability, because X-rays have very high
energy due to their short wavelength
DEFICIENCY
While the drawback is for the object of a
single crystal is very difficult to get the
compound in the form of crystals. As for
the object of powder (powder) is difficult
to determine the structure.
