What Size Do XRD, SEM and TEM Actually Measure? X-ray diffraction (XRD) records how a crystal scatters X-rays, conventionally with the diffraction angle 2θ on the horizontal axis and diffracted intensity on the vertical axis. A periodic arrangement of atoms produces diffraction peaks, and the width of a peak is related to the distance over which that arrangement remains coherent. The coherent doma...
