x-ray diffraction
n.
The scattering of x-rays by crystal atoms, producing a diffraction pattern that yields information about the structure of the crystal.
X-ray diffraction
n
(Physics / General Physics) the scattering of X-rays on contact with matter, resulting in changes in radiation intensity, which is used for studying atomic structure
x-ray diffraction
The scattering of x-rays by crystal atoms, producing a diffraction pattern that yields information about the structure of the crystal. X-ray diffraction is used in x-ray crystallography.
ThesaurusLegend:  Synonyms Related Words Antonyms
Noun1.X-ray diffraction - the scattering of X rays by the atoms of a crystal; the diffraction pattern shows structure of the crystal
diffraction - when light passes sharp edges or goes through narrow slits the rays are deflected and produce fringes of light and dark bands

An X-ray diffraction (XRD) system transmits X-ray beams to a sample (generally a single crystal, metallic solid or a powder) and records the diffraction pattern that occurs when the X-ray photons encounter the inter-atomic gaps within the crystal structure.
XRD flourishes in a broad market by Instrument Business Outlook
Over the years, X-ray diffraction has been a powerful and reliable technique to obtain information about the microstructure, such as crystallinity, crystalline orientation, and crystalline interplanar spacing, in the films (5-7).
Real-time wide-angle X-ray diffraction during polyethylene blown film ... by Gururajan, Giri; Shan, H.; Lickfield, G.; Ogale, A.A. / Polymer Engineering and Science
A few examples of topics covered include three-dimensional visualization in powder diffraction, full pattern methods for the analysis of plastically deformed materials, quasiperiodic photonic and phononic crystals, x-ray diffraction and electric measurements of phase transformation in Li-Mn spinels, and gradients of parameters of the real structure in steel surface layers after mechanical treatment.
