Crystal Structures and X-Ray Diffraction - Sultan LeMarcslemarc
Report on the investigation of the characteristics of X-rays by measuring the count rate of X-rays reflected off alkali halide crystals at varying angles of incidence and using the principles of Bragg’s law. The experiment probes into crystal structures using X-ray diffractometry and deduces the lattice constants and ionic radii using the Miller index notation. The experiment successfully computes the characteristic wavelengths of Copper and clearly demonstrates the effect of filters on spectrum intensities. The interpretation of Miller indices and diffraction patterns are effectively used to analyse crystalline structures and compare lattice arrangements. By Sultan LeMarc

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

6. Schematic of an atom, depicting
electron shells and the energy
transitions for Kα, Kβ, and Lα
characteristic radiation.
Kα arises from the replacement of
K-shell electrons by electrons from
the L shell;
Kβ, by replacement of K-shell
electrons by M-shell electrons, and
Lα, by replacement of L-shell
electrons by M-shell electrons.
(B) Generalized depiction of an X-ray
spectrum, showing peaks in intensity at
wavelengths (energy levels)
corresponding to characteristic
radiation. The highest-energy
(shortest wavelength) characteristic
radiation shown is Kβ. Peaks marked
Kα1and Kα2, which are seldom
resolved in XRD data, arise from
contribution of electrons from two
sublevels in the L shell.
7.
8. • Crystalline substances (e.g. minerals) consist of parallel
rows of atoms separated by a ‘unique’ distance
• Diffraction occurs when radiation enters a crystalline
substance and is scattered
• Direction and intensity of diffraction depends on orientation
of crystal lattice with radiation

X-ray diffraction
• The distance of atomic planes d can be determined based on the
Bragg’s equation.
BC+CD = nl, nl = 2d·sinq, d = nl/2 sinq
where n is an integer and l is the wavelength.
• Different clays minerals have various basal spacing (atomic planes).
For example, the basing spacing of kaolinite is 7.2 Å.
Mitchell, 1993
Bragg’s law: The two rays will constructively interfere if the extra distance ray
I travels is a whole number of wavelengths farther then what ray II travels.
11. X-ray diffraction is now a common technique for the
study of crystal structures and atomic spacing.
X-ray diffraction is based on constructive interference
of monochromatic X-rays and a crystalline sample.
These X-rays are generated by a cathode ray tube,
filtered to produce monochromatic radiation, collimated
to concentrate, and directed toward the sample. The
interaction of the incident rays with the sample produces
constructive interference (and a diffracted ray) when
conditions satisfy Bragg's Law (nλ=2d sin θ).
12. Bragg’s law can easily be derived by considering the
conditions necessary to make the phases of the beams
coincide when the incident angle = reflecting angle .
The second incident beam b continues to the next layer
where it is scattered by atom C
The second beam must travel the extra distance BC+CD
if the two beams a & b are to continue travelling
adjacent and parallel.
This extra distance must be an integral (n) multiple of
the wavelength for the phases of the two beams to be
the same.
13. • The space between diffracting planes of atoms determines peak
positions.
• The peak intensity is determined by what atoms are in the
diffracting plane.
14.
15. Schematic representation of XRD by regularly spaced planes of atoms in a crystal. Theta (θ)
is the angle that the beam makes with the atomic planes; 2θ is the angle that the diffracted
beam deviates from the primary beam; d is the distance between equivalent atomic planes in
the crystal (d-spacing); and λ is wavelength of the radiation. Note that when DE + EF = nλ,
where n is an integer, the diffracted beams from each plane of atoms would be in phase,
leading to constructive interference which accounts for XRD. In effect, when that condition
is met, an XRD peak is observed. The Bragg equation can be used to calculate d-spacing from
the 2θ angle at which the diffraction peak occurs.

38. Fig. 4–6. Sequences of X-ray diffraction patterns for soil clays
(2.0–0.2 μm) scanned after specified cation-saturation (Mg and
K), glycerol (Gly) solvation, and heat treatments.
Peaks are labeled by d-spacings (Å).
(A)The clay from the Orangeburg series (Ap horizon, Georgia)
shows a 14-Å peak that is minimally affected by cation
saturation and shifts and broadens with heat treatment to a
peak at 12 Å. This behavior typifies hydroxy-interlayered
vermiculite as it occurs in the coastal plain of the southeastern
USA.
There is a small peak that persists at 14 Å at 500°C, which is
due to a small amount of chlorite.
Also present are kaolinite (7.18 and 3.57 Å), gibbsite (4.85 Å),
and quartz (4.26 and 3.34 Å).
Note that peaks for gibbsite and kaolinite disappear at 300 and
500°C, respectively, due to dehydroxylation.
39.
40. (B) Clay from the Sharkey soil (Ap, Louisiana) shows peaks at 18 and
14 Å that have mainly shifted to 10 Å at 300°C. Note the increase in
intensity of the 10-, 5- (second-order), and 3.34-Å (third-order) peaks
with heat. This behavior suggests that both smectite and vermiculite
are present.
A small peak (not labeled) intermediate between 14 and 10 Å may be
attributable to some resistance to collapse of these expansible
phyllosilicates. The small 14-Å peak at 500°C indicates that some of
the 14-Å peak is attributable to chlorite.
Also present are mica (illite) (10, 5, and 3.34 Å), kaolinite (7.18 and
3.57 Å), and quartz (4.26 and 3.34 Å).
Note that at 25°C the 10-Å peak is completely attributable to mica, but
is enhanced by the collapse of expansible phyllosilicates with
increasing temperature.
Also, quartz, mica, smectite, and vermiculite all contribute to the 3.34-Å
peak at 500°C, whereas only mica and quartz contribute to it at 25°C.
Editor's Notes
Electronmicroscopy, both transmission and scanning, can be used to identify clay minerals in a soil sample, but the process is not easy and/or quantitative.
Bragg’s law: The two rays will constructively interfere if the extra distance ray I travels is a whole number of wavelengths farther then what ray II travels.
