diffraktionsdata
Diffraktionsdata, also spelled Diffraktionsdaten in German, are measurements that describe how waves scatter from a material. They arise in X-ray, electron, and neutron diffraction experiments and record how the scattered intensity varies with angle or with reciprocal-space coordinates. Typical data include intensity I as a function of 2θ or q, plus experimental metadata such as wavelength and temperature.
In crystallography and materials science, diffraktionsdata are used to determine crystal structures, lattice parameters, and phase
Processing of such data involves background subtraction, Lorentz and polarization corrections, and absorption corrections, followed by
Diffraktionsdaten are stored in standardized formats and shown in public databases. Formats include CIF, XRDML, and
Applications span chemistry, geology, materials science, and biology. They enable phase identification, quantitative phase analysis, determination
