Simple XRD Crystallite size Calculator


Scherrer's Formula:

Crystallite size D = K l / (B cos q)


D - Average crystallite size (nm)
K - Scherrer constant. K varies from 0.68 to 2.08. K = 0.94 for spherical crystallites with cubic symmetry
λ - X-ray wavelength. For Mini XRD, Cu Kα average = 1.54178 Å
B - FWHM (Full Width at Half Maximum) of XRD peak.
θ - XRD peak position, one half of 2θ

Note:
· Use at least the 3 most intense peaks (described by miller indices - h,k,l) of known phases in your
·The Scherrer's Formula is usually most effective for crystallite sizes of 200 nm or less.
