    Introduction X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful technique used for the study of crystalline materials. By analyzing the way in which a beam of X-rays diffracts off a crystalline sample, one can determine the atomic and molecular structure of the material, including bond lengths and angles, atomic positions, and overall symmetry. The Principle of XRD…
