How To Analyse XRD Data / Plot / Graph in Research Paper? Experimental Paper Skills

How to interpret XRD data/plot/graph in your research paper or thesis? How to draw XRD plot in origin Pro -this video is about drawing graph/plot/diagram in origin software. It is one of the comprehensive software where you can drawn high resolutions diagrams far better than Excel or others.

it is a great presentation, if you could help me to have the standard pdf data or the diagram for bentonite 1m558 for my work on anti-mycotoxins as compared with ordinary bentonite

[@qamarwali]

Many thanks for the nice words. Look, I will also search the ICDD # or PDF data for your sample so you can also search on yourself. Let me tell you the methods 1. Search it on Google, and Google will take you to the relevant research paper or review paper, or may be there is a discussion on ResearchGate 2. You are working on this topic, so it means you studied this material from a research paper. Therefore, there must be detail of this material in that paper or in the references cited in that paper. *Very important point* 3. Try crystallography dot org or .net and try for CIF file 4. Look at the ICDD website if possible 5. Just jot down question on ResearchGate, and someone will respond who is working in the same field 6. Lastly, use this key words in the Scopus, and hopefully, you will find the relevant papers. The above-mentioned points are the different approaches to get the ICCD# for your unknown or known sample.

what does it mean 110, 004....etc. please explain it. Thank you

[@qamarwali]

These are called planes denoted with symbol (hkl) and can take any value, (110), (200)..... These (hkl) is called Miller indices. Let's suppose a unit cell having three lattice vector a1, a2, and a3. These hkl denotes a plane that intercepts the three points a1/h, a2/k, a3/l or some multiple. I recommend you to read 7 crystal structure .

I have already made a video on it. Please explore it in my channel. Simply , XRD tells the crystal structure, single crystal, poly crystalline, or amorphous nature of a material. Also used to find particle size, phases identification. EDS, on the other hand, tells about the quantitative and qualitative information about the elements that exist in the sample. The information is in terms of wt% and atomic%

Actually, the XRD machine will provide two files ,one in Excel form and the other in WORD DOC. In the Excel, the intensity is in one column, while the 2 theta in other colum . You can draw it in Origin Pro, etc. In the word files, all the details are available, such as d value, the corresponding peak value, such as 111, 121,.. There are other ways also to calculate

[@azeemmustafa7103]

@@qamarwali Ok brother. (1) In XRD pattern, why do curves for different materials show peak at the same angle, (3) why different materials show similar peaks at same angles?

[@qamarwali]

@Azeem Mustafa Different materials show different peaks having various intensities at slightly different angles. I have never seen different materials showing the same peaks at the same angle? If it is the case, then both materials are the same. If it is the case, then it might be due to the following: * Different curves show peaks at the same angles due to the same instrument, but the peaks intensity must be different for different materials. Another question is almost the same as the first one. Because the instrument is the same and the instrument scanning all samples at the same rate with the same angle so that is why the peaks show at the same angle, BUT again, with different intensities. Sorry if I could not explain well. Let me know how you look into it

[@qamarwali]

Are you about XRD or EDX? The XRD operator will hand over the raw data, and then you have to draw the graph like I have shown in this video

[@qamarwali]

@djedidmana3405 but my data is different than yours. For example, my work was based on metal oxide semiconductors like SnO2, TiO.... Which field are you working on?

[@djedidmana3405]

Yes I'm working on the mineral oxides ...such as CaO...SiO2...

[@qamarwali]

@djedidmana3405 So this simply means that the XRD graph, in my case and your case, would be absolutely different. You simply take your sample to the XRD operator and let he or she perform the XRD. After that, they will hand over the raw data in the form of intensity vs. 2 theta . Now you have to draw it in Origin Pro like I did in my case. I hope it is clear !

[@shahzadahmed5012]

Nice video. Sir how can we measure thin film thickness using xrd?

[@qamarwali]

We usually use SEM or FESEM analysis to measure the thickness of the thin film. I am not sure about thickness measurement using XRD. We use XRD to know the crystal structure of the material whether it is mono or poly crystalline or amorphous. We know it from the XRD peaks.

[@narendrakumarjharesearchsc5159]

lower crystallinity and higher crystallinity means......could you clarify it......nano composite material

[@qamarwali]

As far as I know, it means that if there is highly order of the lattice as a result of higher crystalline whereas low order results lower crystalline. Simple is that, if a mirror is more polish it will reflect more light while less polish mirror will not do the same job. 😊
