Hi,

Besides strain and instrument also size broadening can be close to a
Gaussian if the crystallite size distribution is very narrow. For zero
dispersion of size distribution the size peak profile is about 75% Gaussian
and 25% Lorentzian (on tails). For details see JAC (2002) 35, 338-346 (self
citation) and other ref. cited there (Langford, Louer, Scardi (2000))

Best,

Nicolae Popa

Subject: question on size-strain analysis


Dear colleagues,

I have a probably very basic question related to size-strain analysis:

we have a pattern of a nanocrystalline oxide, which shows (from
Williamson-Hall plot) almost purely size broadening, and shape of
reflections is to good accuracy Gaussian.
I am curious what type of microstructure this Gaussian behavior can reflect.
Maybe it is just something usual, but so far I had only observed
predominantly Lorentzian broadening in similar materials...

Sincerely,
Maxim.
