Bragg's Law: { 2d*Sin(θ) = (n)λ } is the condition for constructive interference, with n=a positive integer. By using powder crystals of a given atomic spacing (Graphite: d100 = 2.1 [Å] and d110 = 1.21 [Å]), And by tuning the WaveLength of the electrons to a certain length, we can "pick" a Bragg scattering angle. While any given powder crystal may be at any 3D orientation, only the ones where the geometry gives the "preferred" angle(s) will constructively interfere strongly. |
