Study of X-ray Difrectometer (XRD)

The book "Study of X-ray Diffractometer (XRD)" by Ruchi Chandrakar provides a comprehensive analysis of the methods for optimal preparation of XRD samples. The quality of X-ray diffractometer data critically depends on proper sample preparation. Errors in this process can complicate phase identification and lead to inaccurate estimates of abundances and crystallinity. The work discusses the ideal conditions for sample preparation, including the necessity of random crystal orientation and a sufficient number of crystallites to ensure a representative intensity distribution. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of structurally altered materials in various applications, particularly concerning the interactions between solids and gases. The investigation of the X-ray structures of liquid sodium, potassium, and sodium-potassium alloys is illustrated through an improved method that enables precise analysis of liquid metals.
