X-ray Generation
The incoming electronmust have enough energy
to remove inner 1selectrons from the copperatoms.
This energy correspondsto the Cu absorption edge
The 2sand 2pelectronsfall back into the 1s shelland emit the K1K2
lines.

Energy Calculations
Plancks constant (h) = 6.6 * 10-34
joule-sec 1 electron-volt = 1.6016 * 10-19joule
Speed of light (c) = 3.0 * 108
m/s Photon frequency= c/ Photon Energy E = h= hc/

Energy Calculations
What is the minimum potential in KV that isrequired to excite Cu K-series radiation from a Cu-
target X-ray tube? Absorption edge of Cu = 1.380
E = hc/= (6.60 10-34)(3*108)/(1.380*10-10) E = 1.435*10-15joule
E = 1.435*10-15/1.6016*10-19 = 8958 ev The potential on the tube must exceed 8.958 KV

Diffraction
Diffraction is the coherent scattering of waves
from a periodic array of scatterers. The wavelength of light is about half a micron
Light is diffracted by the tracks in a CD. The wavelengths of X-rays is about the same
as the interatomic distances in crystals. Crystals diffract X-rays.

X-Ray Diffraction
Atoms separated bydistancedwill scatter inphase when the path length
difference is an integralnumber of wavelengths.

X-ray Diffraction Experiment
We use the monochromatic K1-2lines forour diffraction experiment.
The wavelength is 1.5405
We use a diffracted beam monochromatorto clean up the X-rays entering the detector.
We use a powdered sample so that allorientations are present in the sample.
We move the detector through angle 2.

Miller Indices
The real use of Miller indicesis to describe diffractionplanes.
For a lattice plane with Millerindicesh klin anorthorhombic latticea b c,
d = 1 / [(h/a)2+(k/b)2+(l/c)2]1/2
For cubic:
d = a/[h2+k2+l2]1/2

Diffraction Calculations
For forsteritea= 4.75;b= 10.20; c = 5.98
Calculate 2for the (201) lattice spacing for Cuk(=1.5405) d = 1 / [(h/a)2+(k/b)2+(l/c)2]1/2
d = 1/ [(2/4.75)2+(1/5.98)2]1/2
d= 1/0.4530 = 2.207
2= 2 sin-1/2d =2* sin-1(1.5405/4.414)
2= 2 * 20.43 = 40.86

XPOW
XPOW uses the unit cell and atom position data tocalculate the diffraction pattern.
Intensities can be calculated knowing the positionand scattering characteristics of each atom.
Fhkl= square root of integrated intensity. fj= scattering of atomjat angle 2
