INTRODUCTION:
X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen who called them x-rays because the nature at first was unknown so, x-rays are also called Roentgen rays. X-ray diffraction in crystals was discovered by Max von Laue. The wavelength range is 10-7 to about 10-15 m.
The penetrating power of x-rays depends on energy also, there are two types of x-rays. i) Hard x-rays: which have high frequency and have more energy.ii) soft x-rays: which have less penetrating and have low energy

X-RAYS
1.X-rays are short wave length electromagnetic radiations produced by the deceleration of high energy electrons or by electronic transitions of electrons in the inner orbital of atoms
2.X-ray region 0.1to100 A˚
3.Analytical purpose 0.7 to 2 A˚

PRINCIPLEX-ray diffraction is based on constructive
interference of monochromatic x-rays and a crystalline
sample. These x-rays are generated by a cathode ray
tube, filtered to produce monochromatic radiation
,collimated to concentrate and directed towards the
sample. The interaction of incident rays with the
sample produces constructive interference when
conditions satisfy Bragg’s law.

“Constructive interference of the reflected beams emerging from two different planes will take place if the path lengths of two rays is equal to whole number of wavelengths”.
for constructive interference,
nλ=2dsin
this is called as BRAGG’S LAW

PRODUCTION OF X-RAYS:
X-rays are generated when high velocity electrons
impinge on a metal target.
Approximately 1% of the total energy of the electron
beam is converted into x-radiation.
The remainder being dissipated as heat.
Many types of x-ray tubes are available which are used
for producing x-rays.

a . Positive voltage in the form of anode having a target a
• b . Battery to emit thermoionic electrons
• C. Cathode –filament of tungsten metal
• The electrons are accelerated towards the target a
• On striking the target the electrons transfer their energy to its metallic surface which gives off x-ray radiation

Coolidge tube
COLLIMATOR:
In order to get a narrow beam of x-rays, the x-rays
generated by the target material are allowed to pass
through a collimator which consists of two sets of
closely packed metal plates separated by a small gap.
The collimator absorbs all the x-rays except the
narrow beam that passes between the gap.

TYPES OF MONOCHROMATORS
13
In order to do monochromatization,2 methods are available
1.Filter
2.Crystal monochromator
a)Flat crystal monochromator
b)Curved crystal monochromator
Materials used-Nacl,quartz etc,.
Ch.Archana,M.Pharmacy(Pharmaceutics),Roll no:15
A.FILTER: X-ray beam may be partly monochromatized by insertion of a suitable filter
A filter is a window of material that absorbs undesirable radiation but allows the radiation of required wavelength to pass
Ch.Archana,M.Pharmacy(Pharmaceutics),Roll no:15 14
•2)CRYSTAL MONOCHROMATOR : Crystal monochromators is made up of suitable crystalline material positioned in the x-ray beam so that the angle of reflecting planes satisfied the Bragg’s equation for the required wavelengththe beam is split up into component wavelengths crystals used in monochromators are made up of materials like Nacl, lithium fluoride , quartz etc.

DETECTORS The x-ray intensities can be measured and recorded either by
1)Photographic methods
2)Counter methods
a) Geiger - Muller tube counter
b) Proportional counter
c) Scintillation detector
d) Solid state semi conductor detector
e) Semi conductor detectors
Both these types of methods depends upon ability of x-rays to ionize matter and differ only in the subsequent fate of electrons produced by the ionizing process.
16Ch.Archana,M.Pharmacy(Pharmaceutics),Roll no:15
Photographic method: To record the position and intensity of x-ray beam a plane or cylindrical film is used
The film after exposing to x-ray is developed
The blackening of the developed film is expressed in terms of density units D given by
D=log I₀/I
I₀- incident intensities
I- transmitted intensities
D-Total energy that causes blackening of the film
D is measured by densitometer
The photographic method is mainly used in diffraction studies since it reveals the entire diffraction pattern on a single film .
Dis advg: time consuming and uses exposure of several hours
Ch.Archana,M.Pharmacy(Pharmaceutics),Roll no:15 17
COUNTER METHODS:
a) Geiger - Muller tube counter
Geiger tube is filled with inert gas like argon
Central wire anode is maintained at a positive potential of
800 to 2500V .
The electron is accelerated by the potential gradient and
causes the ionisation of large number of argon atoms
,resulting in the production of avalanche of electrons that
are travelling towards central anode
Ch.Archana,M.Pharmacy(Pharmaceutics),Roll no:15 18
X-RAY Collision with filling gas Production of an ion pair
Electon-central anode
Positive ion-moves
to outer electrode
b)PROPORTIONAL COUNTER: Construction is similar to Geiger tube counter
Proportional counter is filled with heavier gas like xenon and krypton
Heavier gas is preferred because it is easily ionized
Operated at a voltage below the geiger plateau
The dead time is very short (~0.2μs), it can be used to count high high rates without significant error.
Ch.Archana,M.Pharmacy(Pharmaceutics),Roll no:15 19
C)SCINTILLATION DETECTOR: In a scintillation detector there is large sodium iodide
crystal activated with a small amount of thallium
When x-ray is incident upon crystal , the pulses of visible light are emitted which can be detected by a photo multiplier tube
Useful for measuring x-ray of short wavelength
Crystals used in scintillation detectors include sodium iodide , anthracene ,napthalene and p-terphenolixylene.
The dead time is short
Ch.Archana,M.Pharmacy(Pharmaceutics),Roll no:15 20
d)Solid state semi-conductor detector
In this type of detector ,the electrons produced by x-ray beam are promoted into conduction bands and the current which flows is directly proportional to incident x-ray energy
Dis advantage:
Semi – conductor device should be maintained at low temperatures to minimize noise and prevent deterioration
Ch.Archana,M.Pharmacy(Pharmaceutics),Roll no:15 21
e)semi-conductor detectors:
When x-ray falls on silicon lithium drifted detector an electron (-e) and a hole (+e)
Pure silicon made up with thin film of lithium metal plated onto one end Under the influence of voltage electrons moves towards +ve charge and holes
towards –ve Voltage generated is measure of the x-ray intensity falling on crystal Upon arriving at lithium pulse is generated Voltage of pulse=q/c; q-tot charge collected on electrode, c-detector capacity.

a)Transmission Laue method
In the transmission Laue method, the film is placed behind the crystal to record beams which are transmitted through the crystal.One side of the cone of Laue reflections is defined by the transmitted beam. The film intersects the cone, with the diffraction spots generally lying on an ellipse.
•Can be used to orient crystals for solid state experiments.
•Most suitable for the investigation of preferred orientation sheet particularly confined to lower diffraction angles.
•Also used in determination of symmetry of single crystals.
Ch.Archana,M.Pharmacy(Pharmaceutics),Roll no:15
b)Back-reflection method
In the back-reflection method, the film is placed between the x-ray source and the crystal. The beams which are diffracted in a backward direction are recorded.
One side of the cone of Laue reflections is defined by the transmitted beam. The film intersects the cone, with the diffraction spots generally lying on an hyperbola.
This method is similar to Transmission method however, black-reflection is the only method for the study of large and thick specimens.
Disadvantage:
Big crystals are required

Crystal orientation is determined from the
position of the spots. Each spot can be indexed,
i.e. attributed to a particular plane, using
special charts.
The Greninger chart is used for back-reflection
patterns and the Leonhardt chart for
transmission patterns.
The Laue technique can also be used to assess
crystal perfection from the size and shape
The Bragg’s x-ray spectrometer method: Laue-beam of x-ray-crystal-emitted x-ray obtained on
photographic plate-using photograph-brag analysed structures of crystals of Nacl,Kcl,and Zns-brags equation
Single plane generates several diffraction lines-sum tot of diffraction lines gives diffraction patterns-from the pattern we can deduce different distances between planes-angle between planes in each of three dimensions

source
The Bragg’s x-ray spectrometer method:
A-anti cathode
B-B’ – Adjustable slits
C-crystal
E-ionization chamber
One plate of ionization chamber is connected to the positive terminal of a H.T Battery , while negative terminal is connected to quadrant electrometer(measures the strength of ionization current)
Ch.Archana,M.Pharmacy(Pharmaceutics),Roll no:15 29
The Bragg’s x-ray spectrometer method
Working:
Crystal is mounted such that ѳ=0° and ionization chamber is adjusted to receive x-rays
Crystal and ionization chamber are allowed to move in small steps
The angle through which the chamber is moved is twice the angle through which the crystal is rotated
X-ray spectrum is obtained by plotting a graph between ionization current and the glancing angleѳ
Peaks are obtained.peaks corresponds to Bragg’s reflection
Different order glancing angles are obtained with known values of d and n and from the observed value of ѳ , λ can be measured.
Ch.Archana,M.Pharmacy(Pharmaceutics),Roll no:15 30
DETERMINATION OF CRYSTAL STRUCTURE BY BRAGG,S LAW
X-Rays falls on crystal surface
The crystal is rotated and x-rays are made to reflect from various lattice planes
The intense reflections are measured by bragg’sspectrometer and the glancing angles for each reflection is recorded
Then on applying bragg’s equation ratio of lattice spacing for various groups of planes can be obtained.
Ratio’s will be different for different crystals
Experimentally observed ratio’s are compared with the calculated ratio’s ,particular structure may be identified.

ROTATING CRYSTAL METHOD:
Photographs can be taken by : 1.Complete rotation method:in this method series of complete revolutions
occur Each set of a plane in a crystal diffracts four times during rotation Four diffracted beams are distributed into a rectangular pattern in the central
point of photograph 2.Oscillation method:the crystal is oscillated at an angle of 15° or 20° The photographic plate is also moved vack and forth with the crystal The position of the spot on the plate indicates the orientation of the crystal at
which the spot wasformed
Ch.Archana,M.Pharmacy(Pharmaceutics),Roll no:15 32
POWDER CRYSTAL METHOD:
Fine powder is struck on a hair with a gum ,it is suspended vertically in the axis of a cylindrical camera
When monochromatic beam is allowed to pass different possibilities may happen 1. There will be some particles out of random orientation of small crystals in the fine
powder2. Another fraction of grains will have another set of planes in the correct positions for
the reflections to occur3. Reflections are possible in different orders for each set
Ch.Archana,M.Pharmacy(Pharmaceutics),Roll no:15 33
X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is a rapid analytical technique primarily used for phase identification of a crystalline material and can provide information on unit cell dimensions. The analyzed material is finely ground, homogenized, and average bulk composition is determined.
If the angle of incidence is ѳ then the angle of reflection will be 2ѳ
If the radius is r the circumference 2πr corresponds to a scattering angle of 360°
From the above equation the value of ѳ can be calculated and substituted in bragg’s equation to get the value of d
Applications Useful for determining the complex structures of metals
and alloys characterization of crystalline materials identification of fine-grained minerals such as clays and
mixed layer clays that are difficult to determine optically determination of unit cell dimensions measurement of sample purity
