The six diffraction patterns are provided as negatives (to save printer ink) for you to
print out. Click on each pattern for a full-size version and then print it out.
Instructions:
Click on each pattern for a full-size version and then print it out.
Use the ratio technique to index the
pattern. You will need a ruler to measure the distance between spots.
Use the table
of ratios for the appropriate crystal structure (fcc or bcc) to identify the
diffracting planes.
Now determine the zone axis by calculating the vector product of any two spots.
