Online calculator for Crystallite size & lattice strain from XRD data

For best view, use Desktop site in smartphones.

Scherrer (not Debye–Scherrer, Why?) equation to determine crystallite size and lattice strain from diffraction angle (2θ) and F. W. H. M. is given as:

Scherrer Equation

 

K = Scherrer’s constant (Shape factor)

             (Here it’s taken as 0.94)

λ = Wavelength of X-rays (Å)

F. W. H. M. (β) = Full Width at Half Maxima

                  (Here input in degrees)

θ – Peak position in XRD graph (that is 2θ)

             (Here input as 2θ in degrees)
