If diffraction angle 2θ represents Miller indices, what does intensity represent particularly in the context of quantitative XRD?
Peak intensity in qualitative X-ray diffraction (XRD) refers to the strength of the diffraction signal, which is influenced by the arrangement of atoms within the unit cell. In quantitative XRD, the intensity is directly related to the positions of the atoms, as defined by the Miller indices represented by the diffraction angle 2θ. Understanding this relationship is crucial for accurate phase identification and quantification in materials analysis.
PREREQUISITESMaterials scientists, crystallographers, and researchers involved in X-ray diffraction analysis who seek to deepen their understanding of peak intensity and its implications in qualitative and quantitative XRD.
