What you describe as different asymmetry is perhaps more a range of unit cell dimensions; in particular there is a distinct higher angle shoulder even with the white ZnO powder. A range of d-spacings could be due to different strain distribution, but also due to different impurity distribution. Jon's question about why the two samples have different colours is most relevant. You would need a wider range of d-spacings (angular range) to sort this out. And of course you could also try grinding and annealing your pellet. Alan.

I should asked the student about the sintering. The ZnO is doped with Ti/Al and Mg. Question about the peak shift : it is true than even some nice preparation to put the sample in the plane the peak shift could be due to height difference. Question about other geometrical aberration : I will try to do more measurements with smaller Soller (0.01rad), a smaller mask 10mm and I will fixed the sample irradiated length with the Automatic Divergent Slit system. Question about strain : If I am making the hypothesis that the all sample is one phase without problem of reduction then the strain possibility seems interesting for me. I will give you more informations after new measurements. Cheers, François Le 09/12/2017 21:52, hd yahoo a écrit : Le 12/9/2017 à 7:49 PM, N. Dragoe a écrit : Hi ZnO can also have a darker colour if it is obtained by thermal treatment in low pressure of oxygen. In my opinion, if all else is correct -I mean normal Soller slits, correct height,… etc- there might be sample strain.
