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
(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


n.
diffraction of x-rays by the regularly spaced atoms of a crystal, useful for determining the arrangement of the atoms.
ThesaurusAntonymsRelated WordsSynonymsLegend:
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

After machining the samples, residual stresses on one set of uncracked deposited tracks (S1-S3) were measured using X-ray diffraction technique, based on sin 2y method [17] which uses the planes of crystal lattice as an atomic scale "strain gauge." X-ray residual stress analysis is based on the angular shift of diffraction lines due to stresses [18].
