1. **Principle:**

- XRF determines elemental composition by measuring emitted X-ray fluorescence [3].

- XRD identifies and measures minerals and their species, revealing crystal structure [2].

2. **Sample Analysis:**

- XRF provides elemental data for chemical analysis [8].

- XRD studies crystal structure and phases present in the sample [7].

3. **Instrumentation:**

- XRF spectrometers are energy or wavelength dispersive [4].

- XRD uses X-ray diffraction for qualitative and quantitative mineralogical analysis [6].

4. **Application Focus:**

- XRF is non-destructive, suitable for elemental composition [1].

- XRD is used to study the crystal structure of materials [7].

Both techniques complement each other for comprehensive material analysis [3][8].
