What is the material that doesn't diffract x rays ?

SAXSIST · Dec 7, 2015

Well, that depends primarily on the energy of your x-rays. High energy x-rays will scatter less than low energy x-rays, but show more Compton and even pair building above 1MeV.

If by diffraction you mean Bragg diffraction, then any material that does not have a crystal structure does not diffract: Plasma, gases, liquids, amorphous solids, etc. All these scatter x-rays, but not into sharp, well defined peaks as described by Bragg's law.
