This book (Practical Electron Microscopy and Database) is a reference for TEM and SEM students, operators, engineers, technicians, managers, and researchers.

=================================================================================

In XRD measurements, the grain size (D) is evaluated using Scherrer’s formula,

D = (k·λ) /(b·cosθ) ------------------------------------- [3160a]

where,
        k = 0.94.
        λ -- The wavelength of radiation, e.g. λ = 0.154056 nm if the sample is analyzed with Cu-K_α radiation.
        b -- The Full width at half maximum (FWHM).
        θ -- The diffraction angle.

The wavelength of other radiations is given by,

wavelength of radiation -------------------------------- [3160b]

Here, the X-ray photon energy (E) is listed in page4672.
