The outcomes found in XRD analysis include the following; identification of the crystal structure, determination of the lattice parameters, quantitative analysis of phase composition, determination of crystal orientation, and measurement of residual stress.
X-ray diffraction is a versatile technique that can provide valuable information about the crystallographic properties of a wide range of materials, including crystal structure, phase identification, grain size and texture, lattice parameters, strain and stress analysis, and degree of crystallinity.
x ray diffraction studies, based on bragg's law basically gives insights on the crystal geometry such as the inter planar spacing,lattice constants,structure of the crystal and crystallite size. XRD can be performed for solid and liquid samples.
