Principle

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

Tasks


Take Debye-Scherrer photographs of the zirconium sample.

Evaluate the Debye-Scherrer rings and assign them to the
corresponding lattice planes.

Determine the lattice constants of the sample material.

Determine the number of atoms in a unit cell of the
sample.
