Important complication for XRD

One problem with using Bragg's law to determine the structure of a material is that orienting some crystals may result in different scattering angles. This would make the structure of the material appear different to what it actually is. Defects and impurities, in great enough concentrations, may also make this problem worse.

  1. I suppose a possible solution is that we change the wavelength of the incident radiation then we can obtain a better picture of structure.
