Are x-ray diffraction and crystallography synonymous terms in the field of material analysis?

No, x-ray diffraction and crystallography are not synonymous terms in the field of material analysis. X-ray diffraction is a technique used to study the atomic and molecular structure of materials, while crystallography is the broader scientific study of crystals and their structures, which can include various methods beyond just x-ray diffraction.

How is ionic radii measured?

Ionic radii are typically measured using X-ray crystallography or neutron diffraction techniques. In X-ray crystallography, the distance between the nuclei of two ions in a crystal lattice is measured. This distance is then used to calculate the ionic radius.
