Determination of Crystal Structure
(From Chapter 10 of Textbook 2)
Unit cell  line positions
Atom position  line intensity (known chemistry)
Three steps to determine an unknown structure:
(1) Angular position of diffracted lines  shape and
size of the unit cell.
(2) sizes of unit cell, chemical composition, density
 # atoms/unit cell
(3) Relative intensities of the peaks 
positions of the atoms within the unit cell
Preliminary treatment of data:
 Ensure true random orientation of the particles of the
sample
 Remove extraneous lines from
(1) K or other wavelength:

Example for sample height displacement
Assume a crystal; cubic structure; a = 0.6 nm.
Consider the error that can be introduced if the sample
was displaced by 100 microns (0.1 mm) for (100) and
(400) diffraction peaks? Assume λ = 0.154 nm and R =
225 mm.
