X-ray diffraction is a generic term for phenomena associated with changes in the direction of X-ray beams due to interactions with the electrons around atoms. It occurs due to elastic scattering , when there is no change in the energy of the waves.
An X-ray diffraction pattern of a crystallized enzyme. The pattern of spots (reflections) and the relative strength of each spot (intensities) can be used to determine the structure of the enzyme. The relative intensities of the reflections provides information to determine the arrangement of molecules within the crystal in atomic detail.
X-ray Radiation: While SEM-EDX does not use as high a voltage as some X-ray techniques, it still produces X-rays that can be harmful with prolonged exposure. Proper shielding and safety measures are necessary. Sample Preparation: Handling and preparation of samples can involve hazardous chemicals or materials.
X-ray diffraction units were widely used in academic research departments to do crystal analysis. An essential component of a diffraction unit was a very accurate angle measuring device known as a goniometer. Such units were not commercially available, so each investigator had do try to make their own.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a surface-sensitive quantitative spectroscopic technique that measures the very topmost 50-60 atoms, 0.01 um, 5-10 nm of any surface. It belongs to the family of photoemission spectroscopies in which electron population spectra are obtained by irradiating a material with a beam of X-rays .
X-ray diffraction (XRD) is still the most used method for structural analysis of chemical compounds. Yet, with increasing detail on the relation of K β {\displaystyle K_{\beta }} -line spectra and the surrounding chemical environment of the ionized metal atom, measurements of the so-called valence-to-core (V2C) energy region become ...

Crystallography is the branch of science devoted to the study of molecular and crystalline structure and properties. [1] The word crystallography is derived from the Ancient Greek word κρύσταλλος ( krústallos ; "clear ice, rock-crystal"), and γράφειν ( gráphein ; "to write"). [ 2 ]
