It means "between planes". Usually this is interplanar distace which is the distance between planes of atoms or molecules in a crystal lattice. Any one define the above with diagram?
interplaner spacing
To calculate interplanar spacing in a crystal lattice structure, you can use Bragg's Law, which relates the angle of diffraction to the spacing between crystal planes. This formula is given by: n 2d sin(), where n is the order of the diffraction peak, is the wavelength of the X-ray used, d is the interplanar spacing, and is the angle of diffraction. By rearranging this formula, you can solve for the interplanar spacing (d) by measuring the angle of diffraction and the wavelength of the X-ray.
In a body-centered cubic (BCC) crystal structure, the interplanar spacing is equal to the length of the body diagonal divided by the square root of 3.
To prove the interplanar spacing for a hexagonal crystal, you can use Bragg's law and the geometry of the hexagonal lattice. The interplanar spacing (d) for planes characterized by Miller indices ((h, k, l)) can be derived using the formula: [ d = \frac{a}{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{h^2 + hk + k^2}} ] for the basal planes where (l = 0), and [ d = \frac{c}{l^2} ] for planes perpendicular to the c-axis. Here, (a) is the lattice parameter in the basal plane, and (c) is the height of the unit cell. By analyzing the geometry and applying these formulas, you can confirm the interplanar spacings for hexagonal crystals.
The interplanar distance is the distance between parallel atomic planes within a crystal lattice. It is related to the cubic edge length by the Miller indices of the planes and the crystal system. In cubic crystals, the interplanar distance can be calculated using the formula: d = a / β(h^2 + k^2 + l^2), where 'a' is the cubic edge length and (hkl) are the Miller indices of the plane.
Using d sin π = nπ, d=98.2pm, n=1, π=17.5ΒΊ 98.2sin(17.5ΒΊ) = 1π π=29.53pm
Actually cystal is a three dimensional grating with grating element(interplanar spacing)as of the order of 1 angstron unit. Also the wavelength of X rays is of the order of 1 angstron which satisfies basic condition of diffraction(Bragg's law). Gamma rays are not used for the same reason as well as gamma ray production is not high enough, difficult to focus and high intense enough to create particl and antiparticle.
bcz x rays have very very small wave length.....Ans: X-rays are diffracted by crystal because wave length of X-rays and interplanar spacing in the crystals is of the same order, (angstrom, Å), so it satisfies Bragg condition for diffraction2dsinθ= nλWhere n is the integer and determined by the order given, λ is the wave length of the x-rays, d is the spacing between the planes in the atomic lattice, and θ is the angle between the incident ray and the scattering planes (diffracted angle).
it's easy! n.lambda=2d.sin theta d=n.lambda/(2 sin theta) for orthorombic structure, d=1/rms{h^2/a^2+k^2/b^2+l^2/c^2} n.lambda/(2 sin theta)=1/rms{h^2/a^2+k^2/b^2+l^2/c^2} By knowing lambda, theta for the corresponding h, k, l, and h, k, l y you can find a, b and c. but wait, you have to solve d100, d010 and d001 to find a, b and c respectively. My question, how diffractometer system determines the h, k, l or a, b and c for each d and theta respectively?
