A General Computer Program for Particle Size and Strain Analysis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Abstract
A general computer program has been written in basic Fortran language and tested for computing average particle size, strain, and particle size distribution according to the Fourier method of B. E. Warren.
The program provides such optional features as input data and Fourier coefficient print out, automatic background correction, the choice of fixed count or fixed time input mode, the synthesized diffraction peaks deconvoluted with respect to the instrumental diffraction peak, and a variable amplification range of particle Size. Included in the analysis is a polynomial fitting procedure for the scattering factor. The authors have attempted to write this computer program to be as self-explanatory as possible for general applicability. This program is available on request.
This Fourier analysis program has been tested using known distribution functions, and has been used for measuring average particle size, particle size and strain distribution in heattreated boron-doped graphite samples.
