X-RAY DIFFRACTION BY Fatma Defne Kocaayan Buket Sinem Gökhan Cesur
HISTORY OF X-RAY DIFFRACTION 1895: Roentgen discovered x-rays 1912: von Laue, Friedrich, and Knipping passed x-rays through crystal of ZnS and concluded that: a) Crystals are composed of periodic arrays of atoms b) Crystals cause distinct x-ray diffraction patterns due to atoms
HISTORY OF X-RAY DIFFRACTION 1914: Bragg and Lawrence showed that diffraction pattern can be used to determine relative positions of atoms within a single crystal (i.e., molecular structure) 1953 : Rosalind Franklin: collected X-ray diffraction data on Na salt of DNA.Guides Watson and Crick to determine that DNA is a double helix.
HISTORY OF X-RAY DIFFRACTION NOW: Determined atomic structures and in medical applications
WHAT IS X-RAY DIFFRACTION?
WHAT IS X-RAY DIFFRACTION? Based on constructive interference of monochoromatic rays and crystalline sample
BRAGG S LAW Crystals composed of parallel atomic planes incoming waves undergo reflection separetly from each plane reflected light creates interference patterns
BRAGG S LAW İncoming angle equals to reflection angle
BRAGG S LAW Path lenght must equal integer multiples of wavelength (BRAGG S differraction rule) This rule are shown with the Bragg s equation 2d sin n
BRAGG S LAW If the bragg s equation is Not satisfied NO REFLECTION can occur, If the bragg s equation is satisfied REFLECTION may occur,
INSTRUMANTATION The instrumantation consist of four parts and they are; Production of x-rays Collimator Monochromators Detector
PRODUCTION OF X-RAYS X-rays are generated when high velocity electrons impinge on a metal target which are having high melting point,good thermal conductivity and large atomic number.such as silver, iron,copper,tungsten. Approximately 1% of the total energy of the beam is converted into x-rays. The reminder being dissipated as heat.
COLLIMATOR A series of closely spaced parallel metal plates. The collimator absorbs all the x-rays except the narrow beam that passes between gap.
MONOCHROMATORS Absorb the undesireable radiation and allows required wavelength to pass.there is two types of monochromator; Filter : Using only short wavelength.zirconium Crystal : Using variety wavelength.sodium Chloride, Lithium Floride
DETECTOR The x-ray intensities can be measured and recorded either by photographic or counter methods. Both these thypes of methods depends upon ability of x-rays to ionize matter and differ only in the subsequent fate of electrons produces by ionizing process.
TYPES OF DETECTOR Photographic Method In order to record position and intensity of x-ray beam a plane cylindrical film is used. Counter Methods Geiger-Muller tube counter(the most common) Propertional counter Scintillation counter Solid-state semi conducter detector Semiconductor detector
HOW DOES IT WORK? X-Rays are generated by cathode ray tube, Filtered to produce monochromatic radiation, Collimated to concentrate and directed towards the sample, The interaction of rays with the sample produces constructive interference.
HOW DOES IT WORK? Diffraction patterns are recorded on a photographic film.
