Hi to all!, in fact, the Cagliti's expression is just a way to show the angular variation of fwhm, as was mentioned was usef for neutron diffraction and adopted in XRD, we can also build another dependence such as FWMH vs 2theta directly and it is useful to evaluate size and strain, the problem is that many refinement codes have the FWMH angular dependence in terms of Caglioti's equation. By the way, how can I get the paper of Young and Desai?,because I have tried a search in the web,but i did'nt find the article- best regards.
