Title: Crystallite Size Analysis Nanomaterials


1
Crystallite Size Analysis Nanomaterials
  • This tutorial was created from a presentation by
    Professor Paolo Scardi and Dr. Mateo Leone from
  • the University of Trento, Italy. The presentation
    was given at an ICDD workshop held during the
  • 2008 EPDIC-11 Meeting in Warsaw, Poland.
    Professor Paolo Scardi is shown above on the
    right.
  • The tutorial includes the theory and examples of
    the particle size algorithm and display features
    that
  • are embedded in PDF-4! It also demonstrates how
    this simulation can be used for the study of
  • nanomaterials.
  • The ICDD is grateful to both Paolo and Mateo as
    well as the University of Trento for allowing the
  • ICDD to use their data for this tutorial.

  • Given the variety of available profile
    functions, why bother with a new one???

? Answer because the size distribution
matters!!!

PIONEERS IN POWDER DIFFRACTION PAUL SCHERRER
The Scherrer formula Gottinger Nachrichten 2
(1918) 98
  • h full width at half maximum
  • L effective domain size
  • wavelength
  • q Bragg angle

EFFECTIVE SIZE AND GRAIN SIZE
What is the meaning of L, the effective size
of the Scherrer formula?
?

SCHERRER FORMULA AND SIZE DISTRIBUTION
In most cases, crystalline domains have a
distribution of sizes (and shapes).
ltDgt M1 ? meanM2 - M12 ? variance
Scherrer formula is still valid

EFFECT OF A BIMODAL SIZE DISTRIBUTION
If the size distribution is multimodal, a single
(mean size) number is of little use, and
possibly misleading!!

CAVEAT!
  • DDView Particle size is NOT a profile fitting!
  • NO other sources of line broadening (e.g.,
    instrumental profile, dislocations, etc.) are
    considered!
  • Gamma distribution is flexible and handy, but in
    some cases it MIGHT NOT work! Domains might
    not be
  • spherical!

Use this feature only for estimating domain size,
especially in nano materials where the line
width/shape is dominated by the size effects.
In all other cases, use a Line Profile Analysis
software, e.g., PM2K, based on the WPPM algorithm
