Microstrain can be measured by X-ray diffraction using peak

  • A.Area and intensity
  • B.Position and area
  • C.Broadening and intensity
  • D.Position and broadening

Answer: D

Microstrain is measured from the peak Position and broadening.

Non-uniform microstrain spreads the lattice spacings around their mean, which broadens each diffraction peak. Strain broadening grows with angle as \(\beta_{\varepsilon} = 4\varepsilon\tan\theta\), while size broadening varies as \(1/\cos\theta\). Separating the two, as in a Williamson-Hall plot of \(\beta\cos\theta\) against \(\sin\theta\), needs both the breadth of each peak and its position \(\theta\).

Peak area and intensity relate to the amount of a phase and its structure factor, not to strain, so the options built on them are wrong.
