W.H. Bragg (father) and William Lawrence.Bragg (son) developed a simple relation for scattering angles, now call Bragg’s law.

21 History (4): C. Gordon Darwin
C. Gordon Darwin, grandson of C. Robert Darwin (picture) developed 1912 dynamic theory of scattering of X-rays at crystal lattice

22 History (5): P. P. Ewald P. P. Ewald 1916 published a simple and more elegant theory of X-ray diffraction by introducing the reciprocal lattice concept. Compare Bragg’s law (left), modified Bragg’s law (middle) and Ewald’s law (right).

23 Introduction Part II Contents: unit cell, simplified Bragg’s model, Straumannis chamber, diffractometer, pattern Usage: Basic, Cryst (before Cryst I), Rietveld I

24 Crystal Lattice and Unit Cell
Let us think of a very small crystal (top) of rocksalt (NaCl), which consists of 10x10x10 unit cells. Every unit cell (bottom) has identical size and is formed in the same manner by atoms. It contains Na+-cations (o) and Cl--anions (O). Each edge is of the length a.

25 Bragg’s Description The incident beam will be scattered at all scattering centres, which lay on lattice planes. The beam scattered at different lattice planes must be scattered coherent, to give an maximum in intensity. The angle between incident beam and the lattice planes is called q. The angle between incident and scattered beam is 2q . The angle 2q of maximum intensity is called the Bragg angle.

26 Bragg’s Law A powder sample results in cones with high intensity of scattered beam. Above conditions result in the Bragg equation or

27 Film Chamber after Straumannis
The powder is fitted to a glass fibre or into a glass capillary. X-Ray film, mounted like a ring around the sample, is used as detector. Collimators shield the film from radiation scattered by air.

28 Film Negative and Straumannis Chamber
Remember The beam scattered at different lattice planes must be scattered coherent, to give an maximum of intensity. Maximum intensity for a specific (hkl)-plane with the spacing d between neighbouring planes at the Bragg angle 2q between primary beam and scattered radiation. This relation is quantified by Bragg’s law. A powder sample gives cones with high intensity of scattered beam.

29 D8 ADVANCE Bragg-Brentano Diffractometer
A scintillation counter may be used as detector instead of film to yield exact intensity data. Using automated goniometers step by step scattered intensity may be measured and stored digitally. The digitised intensity may be very detailed discussed by programs. More powerful methods may be used to determine lots of information about the specimen.

34 What is a Powder Diffraction Pattern?
a powder diffractogram is the result of a convolution of a) the diffraction capability of the sample (Fhkl) and b) a complex system function. The observed intensity yoi at the data point i is the result of yoi =  of intensity of "neighbouring" Bragg peaks + background The calculated intensity yci at the data point i is the result of yci = structure model + sample model + diffractometer model + background model 5

35 Which Information does a Powder Pattern offer?
peak position  dimension of the elementary cell peak intensity  content of the elementary cell peak broadening  strain/crystallite size scaling factor  quantitative phase amount diffuse background  false order modulated background  close order 6

36 Powder Pattern and Structure
The d-spacings of lattice planes depend on the size of the elementary cell and determine the position of the peaks. The intensity of each peak is caused by the crystallographic structure, the position of the atoms within the elementary cell and their thermal vibration. The line width and shape of the peaks may be derived from conditions of measuring and properties - like particle size - of the sample material.

37 Principles of the Rietveld method
Hugo M. Rietveld, 1967/1969 The Rietveld method allows the optimization of a certain amount of model parameters (structure & instrument), to get a best fit between a measured and a calculated powder diagram. The parameter will be varied with a non linear least- squares algorythm, that the difference will be minimized between the measured and the calculated Pattern: 7

38 Basis formula of the Rietveldmethod
SF : Scaling factor Mk : Multiplicity of the reflections k Pk : Value of a preffered orientation function for the reflections k Fk2 : Structure factor of the reflections k LP : Value of the Lorentz-Polarisations function for the reflections k Fk : Peak profile function for the reflections k on the position i ybi : Value of the background at the position i k : Index over all reflexes with intensity on the position i
