Interactive Course Summary
X-Ray Crystallography and Bragg's Law — X-ray diffraction (XRD) maps the exact three-dimensional spatial coordinates of electron density distributions within crystalline solids. This technique uses Bragg's Law ($n\lambda = 2d\sin\theta$) to calculate the constructive and destructive interference patterns generated when short-wavelength radiation scatters off regular crystalline planes.
