XRD is a primarily used to study crystalline materials . It relies on the fact that X-ray wavelengths are similar to the distance between atoms in a crystal lattice—roughly 0.1 to 10 nanometers.

The resulting output is a pattern of peaks. Each peak's position, intensity, and width reveal detailed information about the material's phase, crystal quality, and internal stress. Modern Technology Trends (2026) X-Ray Diffraction Imaging: Technology and Appli...
This constructive interference only occurs when the geometry of the beam satisfies Bragg’s Law (
