Study of powder microstructure

Ideally X-ray diffraction by a crystal produces Dirac peaks at diffraction angles.diffraction angles; the graphical representation of diffracted intensity as a function of angle 2 is called a diffraction diagram diffractogram or diffraction spectrum.The analysis of diffraction patterns leads to the interpretation of the structures and microstructural properties of crystallized samples. But there are a number of factors influencing peak position peak width and diffracted intensity including spectral dispersion refraction absorption factor and Lorentz factor.
