X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD)

X-ray Powder Diffraction is a method in which a beam of X-rays is directed at a fine powder of randomly oriented grains of crystalline substances. The X-rays are scattered in directions that depend on the crystal structure of the sample and the resulting X-ray diffraction pattern can uniquely identify  the  material.
