diffract - use in sentences

Object

  • proton: Finally, a first analysis of the leading proton spectrometer data where the diffracted proton is directly measured is presented in section 2.4.
  • beam: The right hand side shows a circular cross section at right angles to the diffracted beam.
  • intensity: One way of comparing diffracted beam intensities is to match convergent beam patterns.
  • X-ray: Once frozen, NAT crystals diffract X-rays at third generation synchrotron sources to beyond 3.0?
  • ray: However, rays diffracted by individual ions in a crystal may or may not be in phase with rays diffracted by other ions.
  • crystal: The facility will be rapidly tuneable allowing data to be collected from small, weakly diffracting crystals over a wide range of wavelengths.

Subject

  • crystal: The x-rays are diffracted by the crystal and generate a precise pattern of dots on a detector, such as photographic film.
  • object: A beam of X-rays is diffracted by the electrons in a crystalline material, just as visible light is diffracted by larger objects.

Adjective complement

  • light: A lens can recombine the ( accessible ) diffracted light to generate a magnified image of the mask.

Modifying Another Word

  • well: If that were the case, would such small crystals still diffract reasonably well?
  • not: Although these do not diffract, initial results confirm that they are solid and derived from protein rather than salt.
  • weakly: The facility will be rapidly tuneable allowing data to be collected from small, weakly diffracting crystals over a wide range of wavelengths.
  • strongly: Bragg planes can diffract strongly at specific angles that are dependent on the separation between the planes.
  • only: With X-rays, the crystal only diffracts in a few directions.
  • n't: It does n't diffract in-house but does at synchrotron sources.

Followed by a transitive particle

  • around: When elementary particles collide at high energies they diffract off each other, just like waves of light diffract around apertures in ordinary optics.

Preposition: in

  • direction: The beams which are diffracted in a backward direction are recorded.

Preposition: by

  • crystal: The x-rays are diffracted by the crystal and generate a precise pattern of dots on a detector, such as photographic film.
  • object: A beam of X-rays is diffracted by the electrons in a crystalline material, just as visible light is diffracted by larger objects.
