Diffraction
An interactive demonstration of the diffraction of light ray using a single -slit diffraction pattern
X-ray Diffraction
This site shows how experimental x-ray techniques increase the amount of information available for x-ray diffraction patterns; describe the difference between powder, rotating crystal and Laue ...
Diffraction of light
Online tutorials on diffraction in which you can vary wavelength and aperture width, and see the results as wave fronts, and as an intensity graph. Explanations include the relevant equations.
Bragg's Law and Diffraction
Bragg's Law and diffraction - how waves reveal the atomic structure of crystals. Includes an applet, detailed notes and many diagrams and graphs.
Diffraction Grating
A diffraction grating is the tool of choice for separating the colors in incident light.
Electron Diffraction
Electrons are charged, light particles and their penetration into solids is very limited so it is therefore considered to be a surface technique. This site gives a good understanding of electron ...
Fresnel Diffraction Applet
The Applet shows by computer simulation, the diffraction of light through a bi-dimensional aperture according with Fresnel theory.
Bragg Spectrometer
Description of x-ray diffraction with clear diagrams. Includes calculations.
Reflection, Refraction & Diffraction
The site explains what happen to electromagnetic waves when it is transmitted and come in contact with a boundary.
Teaching and Learning Packages for Materials Science
Explains difference between different types of crystals and talks about various topics such as x-ray diffraction, microscopy and polymers.
