Episode 529: Preparation for X- ray and Neutron Diffraction Topic
This topic, from the Institute of Physics, encourage students to apply their understanding of diffraction to X-ray and neutron diffraction studies of the structure of matter. It could extend a study of diffraction of waves, or be part of a study of material structures, or of atomic physics.
There are two learning episodes in this topic:
Episode 530: X-ray diffraction
Episode 531: Neutron diffraction
Upon completion, students should be able to:
1. relate diffraction effects to the spacing of gratings etc. and to the wavelength of the radiation involved
2. state some uses of X-ray and neutron diffraction
3. apply Bragg’s law.
