This study calculates diffraction patterns for cubic crystalline materials, considering various grain shapes and size distributions. The findings reveal how crystal shape influences line broadening in diffraction analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Crystallography
  • Solid-State Physics

Background:

  • Understanding diffraction patterns is crucial for characterizing crystalline materials.
  • Polydisperse systems with varying grain shapes present complex diffraction behavior.
  • Previous models often simplify grain shapes, limiting accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a generalized method for calculating diffraction patterns of polydisperse crystalline systems.
  • To analyze the impact of different grain shapes (sphere, cube, tetrahedron, octahedron) on diffraction line broadening.
  • To investigate the influence of size-distribution functions (lognormal, Poisson) on diffraction profiles.

Main Methods:

  • Analytical calculation of Fourier transforms for various crystal shapes.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed approach is versatile, applicable to any crystallite shape and distribution function.
    • The Fourier transform formalism simplifies the inclusion of additional line-broadening factors.
    • This method enhances the accurate characterization of polydisperse crystalline materials.
