Principle

A polycrystalline zirconium foil is irradiated with X-rays. The resulting Debye-Scherrer reflections are photographed and then evaluated.

Tasks

  1. Take Debye-Scherrer photographs of the zirconium sample.
  2. Evaluate the Debye-Scherrer rings and assign them to the corresponding lattice planes.
  3. Determine the lattice constants of the sample material.
  4. Determine the number of atoms in a unit cell of the sample.
