MEASUREMENT OF INTER PLANNER SPACING OF SODIUM CHLORIDE CRYSTAL

Abstract

A novel diffraction method is used for the measurement of the inter planner spacing of Sodium Chloride with accuracy is presented. This method is mainly based on Bragg‟s X-Ray Diffraction Method which is carried out by a device called Goniometer (Contact angle type) along with an X-Ray source and a receiver. In this experiment the wave length from a sealed X-ray source is used in a high quality precision Goniometer to obtain the direct measurement of the diffracted angle in a single determination. This method is applicable to a range of material types from a perfect single crystal to polycrystalline samples because it involves a single measurement.
