Abstract:
In the present paper, the theoretical analysis was performed of the phenomenon and causes of the spectral line missing stage in diffraction of grating and crystal X-ray diffraction, and their application was discussed. It was concluded that the crystal X-ray diffraction probably lies in the fact that the geometrical structure factor of unit cells of some crystal materials is zero, and secondly, the spectral line missing stage in diffraction could be an interesting subject in the crystal X-ray diffraction research. On the whole, these conclusions may provide an important reference to the study on material phase, structure and intact analysis etc.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
