XRD DEVELOPMENT 🔼

Discovery of X-ray 💀

1895, Prof Willhem Rontgen

X-ray is INVISIBLE unlike ordinary light 🔦

Travelled in STRAIGHT LINES as ordinary light ‼

Affected photographic film as light 📷

Relation of X-ray and Crystallography ☠ 💠

1912,Max Theodore Felix von Laue

Wavelength of x-rays is same order with atomic spacing in a crystal

X-rays to diffract and crystalline sample should having same result to be approved. ✅

Existence of Braggs' Law 💥

1914, Sir William Henry Bragg & William Lawrence Bragg

Produced geometrical interpretation ; angle of diffraction and interplanar spacing 📐

Enabled the quantitaive determination of structure crystalline materials ⚠

Increasing in understanding of the role of crystal structure in material properties ⤴

Conclusion : Rapidly advancing material science since we have been applied x-rays in crystallography with help of the researchers, 🔓
