In this insightful video, I had the pleasure of guiding Amrit Marasini, an M.Sc. Engineering Geology student from Tribhuvan University, Nepal, on the entire process of XRD data analysis. We cover essential steps like sample preparation, data simulation using VESTA, downloading CIF files from the COD website, and performing Rietveld refinement using GSAS software to determine weight fractions. We also discuss the importance of literature review and building connections with scientists and professors in the field. This video offers valuable insights for students and researchers diving into XRD and geotechnical studies.
