X-ray Diffraction for Mineral Structure Determination

Crystal Lattices and Unit Cells → Applications of XRD in Mineralogy

This learning path guides high school students through the principles of X-ray diffraction and its application in determining mineral structures. Starting with basic crystallography and X-ray generation, it progresses through Bragg's law, diffraction patterns, and both powder and single-crystal XRD methods, culminating in structure determination. The path emphasizes the conceptual understanding and practical relevance of XRD in mineralogy.
