Abstract

The evaluation procedures of X-ray line profiles are overviewed in this chapter. These methods can be classified into four groups, namely (1) the most simple methods that evaluate only the breadths of diffraction peaks, (2) procedures using the Fourier-transforms of line profiles for the determination of the parameters of microstructures, (3) variance methods evaluating the restricted moments of peaks, and (4) procedures fitting the whole diffraction pattern. The crystallite size distribution and the densities of lattice defects cannot be determined from the peak width alone as the rule of summation of breadths of size, strain, and instrumental profiles depends on their shape. However, the breadth methods can be used for a qualitative assessment of the main origins of line broadening (size, dislocations, planar faults) (e.g. for checking the model of microstructure used in whole powder pattern fitting procedures). The application of Fourier and variance methods is limited if the diffraction peaks are overlapping. In the case of pattern fitting procedures, usually a microstructure model is needed for the calculation of the theoretical fitting functions. The reliability of these methods increases with increasing the number of fitted peaks.
