I will be doing an XRD on a sample which is powdered in natured and is a hydrogenated compound. I would like to know how we can understand the individual components and components by using the plots/graph from the X-ray diffraction and understand it properly.
Thanks
One powerful method to analyze XRD data is Rietveld refinement, which refines a theoretical diffraction pattern to match the observed data. This can be executed using specialized software such as the FullProf Suite.
Step-by-step procedures are provided but need to practice more to play with the data.
You know the components of your material. Thus, search for the corresponding and deviated peaks, confirming the change in structure of the respective component material (element).
This way, you will be able to recognize the elements and the changes in the structure if any.
