    Dear Nimesh,

    Greetings!!

    X-ray crystallography is a method of determining the arrangement of atoms within a crystal, in which a beam of X-rays strikes a crystal and scatters into many different directions. From the angles and intensities of these scattered beams a three-dimensional picture of the density of electrons within the crystal can be produced. From this electron density, the mean positions of the atoms in the crystal can be determined, as well as their chemical bonds, their disorder and various other information.

     On the basis of X-ray crystallography ZNS (sphalerite) has fcc structure and ZNS (wurtzite) has Hcp structure.

    Thank you for asking your query.
