In nanomaterials research, XRD is pivotal for several reasons:
1. Structural Analysis: It helps in determining the crystalline phase and structure of nanoparticles. 2. Size Determination: It can estimate the size of nanoparticles using the Scherrer Equation. 3. Quality Control: Ensures the consistency and quality of nanomaterials produced. 4. Defect Analysis: Identifies defects and disorders in crystal structures, which can affect material properties.
