Crystalline versus amorphous structure: SiO2 example
STRUCTURE
3
• The crystal structure describes the atomic arrangement of a material.
• When the atoms are arranged differently, a different diffraction pattern is
produced (ie. glass vs. cristobalite)
Quartz Cristobalite Glass

Information from diffraction spectra: SiO2 Example
STRUCTURE

• These three phases of SiO2 are chemically identical
• The amorphous glass does not have long-range atomic order and therefore produces only broad scattering peaks
• Quartz and cristobalite have two different crystal structures • The Si and O atoms are arranged differently
• Both have structures with long-range atomic order
• The difference in their crystal structure is reflected in their different diffraction patterns

• The incident angle, w, is defined between the X-ray source and the sample.
• The diffraction angle, 2q, is defined between the incident beam and the detector.
• In the Bragg-Brentano geometry, the diffraction vector (s) is always normal to the sample surface.

Microstress can be introduced by: • surface tension of nanoparticles • morphology of crystal shape, such as nanotubes • interstitial impurities
In case where microstress is small, crystallite size can be determined
