Hi, At the moment there is development of a NIST Nanocrystallite Size Standard Reference Material (SRM1979). Jim Cline and I are working on this SRM. It will include two materials: (1) CeO2 with spherical crystallite shape and size distribution in the ~20nm size range (isotropic shape); (2) ZnO

Hi All. Regarding the RR ceria. The analysis carried out by us and discussed in Armstrong et al (2004a,b) did not assume a lognormal distribution, but tested the distribution model. The results from the Bayesian/MaxEnt methods, were free of any distribution function. Additional analysis showed t

file which depended on the characteristics/density of the dislocations. Best approach is to develop physical models for the line profile broadening and test them for their plausibility i.e. model selection. Good luck. Best Regards, Nick Dr Nicholas Armstrong NI

Hi If you have to use these techniques, the integral breadths are the one to use -- as Pam pointed out. Also keep in mind that the integral breadth produces a volume-weighted dimension. This is an apparent measure of the crystallite size parallel to the diffraction vector, and must be related t
