Why is it important?

X-ray diffraction can characterize materials of all kinds, such as metals, polymers, ceramics, semiconductors, thin films, biomaterials and composites. The advance in two-dimensional X-ray detectors has further enhanced the applications of XRD. Two-dimensional diffraction pattern contains abundant information about the atomic arrangement, microstructure and defects of a solid or liquid material. This paper covers the basic concept and fundamental equations for typical applications, such as texture, stress, and crystal size.

Perspectives

I hope the unit diffraction vector approach can be further explored for other XRD applications with 2D diffraction pattern.
