    I have a question. I calculate my crystallite size from two peaks and have a crystallite size of 15.98nm and 8.58nm. Can I calculate the average from my values and then is that the crystallite size, as in the example, or do I have to pay attention to something else?

      It's a difference of approx. 2X. I have some suggestions for you, i. Do calculate for all peaks and take average after checking all sized, ii. refine your curve selection, iii. check for instrumental refinements. Thanks

      @@SAYPhysics So I think I know what my problem is. I want to do a Williamson-Hall analysis for my thesis. I need beta_hkl = beta_size + beta_strain. I have got beta_size from the FWHM of my peaks. But I don't know how to calculate beta_strain. If I neglect beta_strain , my crystallite size, which is calculated with the y-axis, is too large. Can you tell me how to get to beta_strain or how to solve the problem? I haven't found anything useful so far. Thanks for helping :)

    I inserted the data of peak position and also FWHM in the file that you have attached. it seems multiple 2 is missing somewhere because using xpert the crystallite size is twice than when I use your file.

    • @SAYPhysics
      @SAYPhysics  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for pointing that out! One key difference is that modern software like Xpert HighScore often uses integral breadth for its calculations, not FWHM. This can lead to some variation in the results compared to methods that rely on FWHM, such as those done manually or in Origin. However, difference of exactly two times is to think over and revisit the formulae.

    Sir, I have two questions.
    1. 3:43 Why should microstrain follow a decreasing trend as angle increases? Does that mean grains with different orientations have different strains?
    2. If the grain size is confirmed to be in the micrometer level, can I directly calculate the microstrain using the equation given in this video, since the effect of grain size is negligible based on Scherrer's equation?

    • @SAYPhysics
      @SAYPhysics  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The broadening of XRD peaks (excluding instrumental broadening) may be due to crystallite size or microstrain or maybe both. To calculate microstrain from XRD data, we will have to make sure few parameters, otherwise, microstrain calculation will not be authentic. The very first one, we will have to make sure that XRD peak broadening is only due to strain, that is, crystal imperfection and distortion only.
      This can be ensured when the microstrain decrease with an increase in 2θ values, while the crystallite size must be consistent over a long range of 2θ values.
      Then, we can measure the microstrain by using this equation.
      I'm not very sure about the microstrain following a decreasing trend as the angle increases. It may be due to grains with different orientations have different strains, as you said.

    I would like to know what does it mean a negative (or positive) value in the microstrain value when analyzing a XRD diffractogram?

    • @SAYPhysics
      @SAYPhysics  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Negative intercept in Wiliamson-Hall does not make physical sense, as it would imply a peak width below the instrument resolution. So either there are problems with the data treatment, e.g. faulty values for the instrument resolution function. Or the intercept has negative value, but the uncertainty is so high that it is not significantly different from zero. Both effects are very common if the peaks only start at rather high diffraction angles. Or your material shows behaviour that can not be modeled properly within the simple models and assumptions underlying Williamson-Hall, in which case you will have to use more advanced methods.

    I calculated micro strain and the values are negative? what is causing that? how can I fix that ?

    • @SAYPhysics
      @SAYPhysics  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your question! Negative microstrain values can sometimes result from instrumental or sample broadening, incorrect baseline corrections, or errors in peak fitting. Make sure that any instrumental broadening is accounted for and that baseline corrections are applied properly during the calculation process.
      For a more accurate approach, I suggest trying the Williamson-Hall (WH) plot method. In my other video tutorial, I demonstrate how to calculate both microstrain and crystallite size, including considerations for peak broadening due to strain.

    Dr, I have a question, what does it mean if the microstrain data does not decrease as the angle increases, that is, they have a bit of constancy, they decrease and increase at the same time, what conclusion could I draw regarding my material?

    • @SAYPhysics
      @SAYPhysics  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Inconsistent microstrain behavior with increasing angle in XRD data may suggest structural complexities or variations within your material. Further analysis and characterization could help identify contributing factors to the observed pattern. Thanks

    • @SAYPhysics
      @SAYPhysics  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Consider conducting additional experiments or analyses to explore the structural changes causing the irregular microstrain behavior. This might involve complementary techniques like electron microscopy, TEM, or advanced XRD scans. Additionally, investigate the material's processing conditions and composition to pinpoint factors influencing microstrain variations. Thanks

    I calculated the micro strain by your video and also by scherrer calculator in highscore xpert. these data are different. when I searched I found out that xpert is using the william hall method which By plotting FW ( s ) × cos θ on y axis against sin θ on x axis, we get the strain component from the slope and the particle size component from the y intercept.

    • @SAYPhysics
      @SAYPhysics  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for your detailed comment! You're right that different methods, like Scherrer and the Williamson-Hall (WH) plot, can yield varying results when calculating microstrain and crystallite size. The Scherrer equation typically gives an average crystallite size, while the WH method accounts for strain by plotting FW(s)×cosθ on the y-axis and sinθ on the x-axis. The slope provides the strain, and the intercept gives the crystallite size.
      In my video on the WH method, I’ve also explained when to use which relation for more accurate results. I recommend checking that out if you haven’t already-it might help clarify the differences between the approaches. Thanks again for sharing your experience! th-cam.com/video/ipX3iUJ5VcU/w-d-xo.html

    How to calculate microstrain and the crystallite size using Halder Wagner equation

    • @SAYPhysics
      @SAYPhysics  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The crystallite size can be calculated using the same Scherrer equation while Halder Wagner equation is used to calculate the microstrain:
      ε = (β cos θ) / (4 sin^2 θ) - (β_0 cos θ_0) / (4 sin^2 θ_0)
      It is important to note that the Halder-Wagner equation assumes that the peak broadening is solely due to microstrain and not to other factors such as instrumental broadening or crystallite size distribution. Therefore, the calculated microstrain may be an overestimate if other broadening effects are present in the XRD data. Thanks

      Thanks for the appreciation dear. This tutorial effectively explains the calculation of microstrain from XRD data using Origin irrespective of its compressive or tensile nature, with a focus on crystal imperfections. The emphasis on ensuring XRD peak broadening is solely due to imperfections, demonstrated using LiF XRD data, adds practical insights. A caution about inconsistent trends in crystallite size with increasing angles impacting microstrain authenticity is well noted. Thus, the tutorial provides a concise and comprehensive guide, addressing potential pitfalls and highlighting the importance of data authenticity.

      @santanupal7097 Determining the nature of microstrain from XRD data involves analyzing the peak broadening in diffraction patterns. Comprehensive microstrain results in peak broadening, while tensile microstrain typically leads to peak shifting. Advanced techniques like Williamson-Hall analysis or Warren-Averbach method can help quantify microstrain and differentiate between comprehensive and tensile nature. Thanks
