Summary
Modern technologies depend on understanding how atoms are arranged inside materials. This atomic arrangement determines how materials conduct electricity, withstand extreme environments, store energy, and perform in applications ranging from microelectronics to national defense systems. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and related scattering techniques are powerful tools for revealing atomic structure, yet analyzing XRD data is a complex task, especially since it is usually large in volume. Although thousands of diffraction patterns are generated every year in laboratories and national facilities, the
