Talk:X-ray scattering techniques

message: XRD redirects here. Where I am, XRD referes exclusively to powder diffraction. Should the target of the redirect be changed? --Rifleman 82 03:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The section on diffraction should NOT suggest as it does that its use is limited to structures exhibiting long-range order.  Amorphous structures can also be probed with this technique. Jdrewitt 16:16, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm a little surprised that X-ray scattering is called "non-destructive". For many samples it is, but if you're doing proteins or similar stuff on a synchrotron I don't think it holds. Shouldn't that assertion be modified a bit? Nvj (talk) 16:41, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it is not destructive in the sense that, say, Atomic flame spectroscopy is, but certainly you are correct that exposure times can be limited by x-ray induced sample degradation (TATP, anyone?). Even just taking an absorption image for a medical x-ray is damaging, but generally considered "safe". I guess what I am saying is that I am not sure if "non-destructive" should be read literally or if it is a term-of-art with a more specific meaning. - Eldereft (cont.) 20:05, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Non-destructive?

message: XRD redirects to here, but on this very page it specifically mentions that "X-ray scattering is different from X-ray diffraction, which is widely used for X-ray crystallography". It doesn't seem to make sense that XRD redirects to X-ray scattering techniques if that statement holds true.

message: I'm not exactly an expert in this field, but IXS techniques seem to actually be a type of Raman spectroscopy.  This source backs me up.

:Sort of, X-ray Raman scattering is an example of an inelastic x-ray scattering process. Other inelastic x-ray scattering processes include Compton scattering. In more general terms, IXS involves measuring the dynamic structure factor. Polyamorph (talk) 20:15, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  IXS is Raman 

message: X-ray diffraction is very different from X-ray crystallography, it should never have been merged. I am reviving it (as stated on the crystallography page for discussion some time ago), moving selected material from X-ray crystallography, where contributors can be found. More work is needed, this is just the first pass. Ldm1954 (talk) 07:25, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
