x-ray structure analysis, X-ray diffraction, diffraction analysis, diffractometric method
röntgenkiirguse hajumisest katsekehalt tuleneva informatsioonil põhinev kristallilise struktuuri uurimismeetod (vt radiograafia, difrakstsioon), an analytic technique in which measurements are made of the angles at which X-rays are preferentially scattered from sample in order to deduce information on the crystalline nature of the sample (see: radiography, diffraction)
