How do get the d spacing from XRD data, using braggs law. I am unsure how to actually obtain the value of d. I have attached the file as a text file with the data in.

Many thanks for the help.

Plot this and find out what 2theta value your peaks occur at. If you know the crystal structure and the family of planes you wish to find the d-spacing for it is just a simple calculation.

If you don't know the crystal structure, its more complicated.
 
Hi Goalie33,

I know it is YBCO (superconductor) in its superconducting phase so it has an Orthorhombic crystal structure.

Does this help at all? What I really want to do is to determine the a, b, c lattice parameters.
 
Hi,
I think you're making this out to be a more complicated operation than it needs to be. I would suggest getting a good book on XRD from the library (I like Cullity). It will nearly walk you through the steps to find a, b, and c.

Now, the book will give you a formula for bragg angle (NOT 2 THETA) as a function of h,k,l and a,b,c. Knowing that the a,b,c d-spacings correspond to the (001) type planes you can find a,b, and c easily. Hope this helps.
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
