x-ray diffraction
noun
- diffraction of x-rays by the regularly spaced atoms of a crystal, useful for determining the arrangement of the atoms.
X-ray diffraction
noun
- the scattering of X-rays on contact with matter, resulting in changes in radiation intensity, which is used for studying atomic structure
x-ray diffraction
- The scattering of x-rays by crystal atoms, producing a diffraction pattern that yields information about the structure of the crystal. X-ray diffraction is used in x-ray crystallography .
