Extract

Discussions exist in the literature concerning the application of single x-ray diffraction profile analysis to determine the average particle size, particle size distribution and root mean squared strain in catalytic systems. Nandi et al. have shown that the single order analysis can give erroneous strain results and is subject to error in the large particle size range. They further indicated that the initial slope of Stokes corrected Fourier coefficients gives more reliable average p article size than that which is calculated from single order peak shape analysis. There is apparent agreement that the average particle size and the particle size distribution measured by single order profile analysis, in small metal particle systems, are reliable.
