MATERIALS SCIENCE
AND TECHNOLOGY
NITC MED2
X RAY DIFFRACTION
• A technique used to determine the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, in which the crystalline atoms cause a beam of incident x-rays to diffract into many specific directions.
• The atomic planes of a crystal cause an incident beam of x-rays to interfere with one another as they leave the crystal. the phenomenon is called x-ray diffraction.
• A stream of x-rays directed at a crystal diffract and scatter as they encounter atoms. the scattered rays interfere with each other and produce spots of different intensities that can be recorded on film.

BRAGG’S EQUATION
WORKING PRINCIPLE
NITC MED4
the path difference between ray 1 and ray 2 = 2d sin
“constructive interference of the reflected beams emerging from two
different planes will take place if the path lengths of two rays is equal
to whole number of wavelengths”.
for constructive interference,
nλ=2dsin
this is called as bragg’s law

SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE
• Electron microscopes (SEM) are scientific instruments that use
a beam of energetic electrons to examine objects on a very
fine scale.• Electron microscopes (SEM) were developed due to the
limitations of light microscopes which are limited by thephysics of light.
• Electron microscopes (SEM) have a greater resolving power than a light-powered optical microscope, because electrons have wavelengths about 100,000 times shorter than visible light .
• Magnifications of up to about 10,000,000x.

PRINCIPLE OF WORKING
NITC MED11
LIMITATIONS
• SEM cannot detect very light elements (H, He, and Li).
• Samples must be solid and they must fit into the microscope chamber.
maximum size in horizontal dimensions is usually on the order of 10 cm,
vertical dimensions should not exceed 40 mm.
• Very high vacuum, vibration free, large space.
• An electrically conductive coating must be applied to electrically
insulating samples .

ATOMIC FORCE MOCROSCOPY
• AFM works by scanning a probe over the sample surface, building up a map of the height or topography of the surface as it goes along
• No need of focusing, illumination, depth of field.• It also have height information that make it simple to quickly
measure the height, volume, width of any feature in the sample.• It physically feels the sample’s surface with a sharp probe,
building up a map of the height of samples surface.• It provides single atomic level structure so provide high
resolution.

NITC MED20
LIMITATIONS
• AFM can only image a maximum height on the order of 10-20
micrometers and a maximum scanning area of about 150×150
micrometers.
• The scanning speed of an AFM is also a limitation.
• Highly dependent on AFM probes.
