Crystalline materials are
characterized by the orderly periodic
arrangements of atoms.
• The unit cell is the basic repeating unit that defines a crystal.
• Parallel planes of atoms intersecting the unit cell are used to define
directions and distances in the crystal.
– These crystallographic planes are identified by Miller indices.

of atoms in NaCl
Dr. Sajjad Ullah ICS-UOP
The atoms in a crystal are a periodic array of
coherent scatterers and thus can diffract light.
• Diffraction occurs when each object in a periodic array scatters
radiation coherently, producing concerted constructive interference at
specific angles.
• The electrons in an atom coherently scatter light.
– The electrons interact with the oscillating electric field of the light
wave.
• Atoms in a crystal form a periodic array of coherent scatterers.
– The wavelength of X rays are similar to the distance between
atoms.
– Diffraction from different planes of atoms produces a diffraction
pattern, which contains information about the atomic arrangement
within the crystal
• X Rays are also reflected, scattered incoherently, absorbed, refracted,
and transmitted when they interact with matter.

XRD Analysis
1- Crystallinity and Phase Identification (Use of Search-match software)
2- Determination of Crystallite Size (Scherer Equation)
3- Determination of Unit cell size (inter-planer distances, unit cell dimension)
4- Indexing diffraction peaks (determination of Miller indices)

Crystallinity
and
Phase Identification
(Use of Search-match software)
Dr. Sajjad Ullah ICS-UOP
X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) uses information about the
position, intensity, width, and shape of diffraction peaks in a
pattern from a polycrystalline sample.
The x-axis, 2theta, corresponds to the angular position of the
detector that rotates around the sample.

Crystalline strcture of ppolymorphs of TiO2: Rtuile, Anatse and Brookite
One of the most important uses of XRD!!!
• Obtain XRD pattern
• Measure d-spacings or 2θ values
• Obtain integrated intensities
• Compare data with known standards in the JCPDS file, which
are for random orientations (there are more than 50,000 JCPDS
cards of inorganic materials).
Another important source is American Mineralogist Crystal
Structure Database: http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/amcsd.php
• Identify by matching (better to use search-Match software)

Estimation of Crystallite Size by
XRD using Scherrer Formula
Thickness = 0.9 λ
B cosӨB
Dr. Sajjad Ullah ICS-UOP
Effect of Crystali size on the Powder pattern—Crystallite size measurements
The Broadning of XRD peaks can arise because of two main factors:
1. Instrumental Broading due to imperfect optical geometry
and intrisic width of Kα line (polychromatic radiations)
2. Broading of X-ray beam due to small particle size: particle size (PS) effect
3. Other Factors: Stress or imperfections in the crystal (see next slide)
Since addiational broading occurs when PS < 200 nm, we can extract inforamtion on
PS by measuring this additional band broading (Factor-2) using Schrrer fromula:
Thickness = 0.9 λ/ B cosӨB
For more precise measurement of the PS, correction for instrumental peak-broading
should be made (Factor-1) accroding to Warren Formula:
B2= BM
2-BS
2 BM = measured width for sample
BS = measured width for standard
Thus a standar material with PS>>200nm and with a difraction peak near to relevant
peak of the sample is added.
Macro-stress: Uniform
(a) Tensile= d increase OR
(b) Compressive: d decrease
Peak location changes
Micro-stress:
Tensile + Compressive
Peak-width increases
Size and stress broadening generally symmetric broadening
Instrumental factors cause asymmetric broadening
X-ray Characterization of Materials, by Eric Lifshin
Dr. Sajjad Ullah ICS-UOP
The Scherrer Formula
λ = the X-ray wavelength used (Cu/K α = 0.154 nm)
ӨB = The Bragg angle. It is obtained by dividing by 2 the 2Ө value of the
corresponding peak.
B = The line broadning (in terms of angular spread) measured from the
extra peak width at half the peak height and is obtained from
Warrem formula:
B2= BM

Note: The Value of B is to be converted to radian before putting in Schreer formula

The Bragg equation is:
nλ = 2dsin(θ)
Dr. Sajjad Ullah ICS-UOP
EXAMPLE: Unit Cell Size (inter-planer distances) from Diffraction Data
The diffraction pattern of copper metal was measured with x-ray radiation
of wavelength of 1.315Å. The first order Braggs diffraction peak was found
at an angle 2θ of 50.5°. Calculate the spacing between the diffracting planes
in the copper metal.

EXAMPLE: Indexing of planes in X-ray Diffractogram
X-ray diffraction of Cu (Cu has fcc structure) is done using Cu/Kα X-ray
radiation ( 0.154 nm ). One prominent peak appears at 2θ= 43.2°. What are the
Miller indices for this peak?
d =

X-ray diffraction analysis for material Characterization

  • 1. Characterization of materials by X-ray Diffraction Dr. Sajjad Ullah Institute of Chemical Sciences, University of Peshawar December, 2018
  • 6. Crystalline materials are characterized by the orderly periodic arrangements of atoms. • The unit cell is the basic repeating unit that defines a crystal. • Parallel planes of atoms intersecting the unit cell are used to define directions and distances in the crystal. – These crystallographic planes are identified by Miller indices. The (200) planes of atoms in NaCl The (220) planes of atoms in NaCl Dr. Sajjad Ullah ICS-UOP
  • 7. The atoms in a crystal are a periodic array of coherent scatterers and thus can diffract light. • Diffraction occurs when each object in a periodic array scatters radiation coherently, producing concerted constructive interference at specific angles. • The electrons in an atom coherently scatter light. – The electrons interact with the oscillating electric field of the light wave. • Atoms in a crystal form a periodic array of coherent scatterers. – The wavelength of X rays are similar to the distance between atoms. – Diffraction from different planes of atoms produces a diffraction pattern, which contains information about the atomic arrangement within the crystal • X Rays are also reflected, scattered incoherently, absorbed, refracted, and transmitted when they interact with matter.

  • 16. One of the most important uses of XRD!!! • Obtain XRD pattern • Measure d-spacings or 2θ values • Obtain integrated intensities • Compare data with known standards in the JCPDS file, which are for random orientations (there are more than 50,000 JCPDS cards of inorganic materials). Another important source is American Mineralogist Crystal Structure Database: http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/amcsd.php • Identify by matching (better to use search-Match software) Phase Identification Dr. Sajjad Ullah ICS-UOP

  • 29. Estimation of Crystallite Size by XRD using Scherrer Formula Thickness = 0.9 λ B cosӨB Dr. Sajjad Ullah ICS-UOP
  • 30. Effect of Crystali size on the Powder pattern—Crystallite size measurements The Broadning of XRD peaks can arise because of two main factors: 1. Instrumental Broading due to imperfect optical geometry and intrisic width of Kα line (polychromatic radiations) 2. Broading of X-ray beam due to small particle size: particle size (PS) effect 3. Other Factors: Stress or imperfections in the crystal (see next slide) Since addiational broading occurs when PS < 200 nm, we can extract inforamtion on PS by measuring this additional band broading (Factor-2) using Schrrer fromula: Thickness = 0.9 λ/ B cosӨB For more precise measurement of the PS, correction for instrumental peak-broading should be made (Factor-1) accroding to Warren Formula: B2= BM 2-BS 2 BM = measured width for sample BS = measured width for standard Thus a standar material with PS>>200nm and with a difraction peak near to relevant peak of the sample is added.
  • 31. Macro-stress: Uniform (a) Tensile= d increase OR (b) Compressive: d decrease Peak location changes Micro-stress: Tensile + Compressive Peak-width increases
  • 32. Size and stress broadening generally symmetric broadening Instrumental factors cause asymmetric broadening X-ray Characterization of Materials, by Eric Lifshin Dr. Sajjad Ullah ICS-UOP
  • 33. The Scherrer Formula λ = the X-ray wavelength used (Cu/K α = 0.154 nm) ӨB = The Bragg angle. It is obtained by dividing by 2 the 2Ө value of the corresponding peak. B = The line broadning (in terms of angular spread) measured from the extra peak width at half the peak height and is obtained from Warrem formula: B2= BM 2-BS 2 Note: The Value of B is to be converted to radian before putting in Schreer formula k = is a shape factor which is 0.9 for spherical particles 𝑡 = 𝒌λ 𝑩 𝒄𝒐𝒔θB A.R.
