What are the limitations of XRD in nanotechnology?
While XRD is a powerful tool, it has its limitations:
1. Sample Preparation: Requires careful preparation to avoid errors. 2. Resolution: Limited by the wavelength of X-rays; may not resolve very small features. 3. Quantitative Analysis: Can be challenging for complex or multi-phase materials. 4. Sensitivity: Less sensitive to light elements and amorphous materials.
