STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES
1. XRD
XRD is a scattering of X-rays by the atoms of a crystal that produces an
interference effect so that the diffraction pattern gives information on
the structure of the crystal or the identity of a crystalline substance.
It can provide valuable information about their crystallographic
properties.
Scherrer Equation: The Scherrer equation is a mathematical formula
used to estimate the average crystallite size of a material based on the
broadening of X-ray diffraction peaks. It is named after the Swiss
physicist Paul Scherrer, who developed the equation in 1918.
