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.
Usually X-ray diffraction in spectrometers is achieved on crystals, but in Grating spectrometers, the X-rays emerging from a sample must pass a source-defining slit, then optical elements (mirrors and/or gratings) disperse them by diffraction according to their wavelength and, finally, a detector is placed at their focal points.
[1] [2] Until Moseley's work, "atomic number" was merely an element's place in the periodic table and was not known to be associated with any measurable physical quantity. [3] In brief, the law states that the square root of the frequency of the emitted X-ray is approximately proportional to the atomic number : ν ∝ Z . {\displaystyle {\sqrt ...
A USAF 1951 resolution chart in PDF format is provided by Yoshihiko Takinami. This chart should be printed such that the side of the square of the 1st element of the group -2 should be 10 mm long.

In crystallography, a Greninger chart [1] / ˈ ɡ r ɛ n ɪ ŋ ər / is a chart that allows angular relations between zones and planes in a crystal to be directly read from an x-ray diffraction photograph. The Greninger chart is a simple trigonometric tool to determine g and d for a fixed sample-to-film distance. (If one uses a 2-d detector the ...
X-ray diffraction is a powerful technique for determining the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline solids. [5] It relies on the interaction of X-rays with the electron density of the crystal lattice , producing diffraction patterns that can be used to deduce the arrangement of atoms. [ 5 ]
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.
The use of the letters K and L to denote X-rays originates in a 1911 paper by Charles Glover Barkla, titled The Spectra of the Fluorescent Röntgen Radiations [1] ("Röntgen radiation" is an archaic name for "X-rays"). By 1913, Henry Moseley had clearly differentiated two types of X-ray lines for each element, naming them α and β. [2]
