Abstract

A method for determining particle diameters up to ca 500 rnm is described. X-ray data are obtained with an ultra-high resolution Bonse-Hart diffractometer and subsequently desmeared. The resultant data, viewed as the invariant argument h l(h), are interpreted as arising from a log-normal distribution of independent spherical particles. The distribution is characterized by its median value and breadth.
