Abstract
When X-rays strike atoms in a crystal, the phenomenon of scattering takes place. When the scattered X-rays from one atomic layer are in phase with scattered X-rays from another plane, then diffraction occurs, which enhances wavefronts. Atomic layer distances can be calculated from Bragg’s law of diffraction. Diffraction patterns act as fingerprints for a material. In this way, an unknown sample can be matched with a database to find a database that helps to describe the material. Nanomaterials exhibit diffraction patterns that are much broader compared to their bulk counterparts. This broadening helps to calculate the crystallite size.
