How to Determine the Unit Cell Type From the XRD Data?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the crystallographic system and lattice parameters from XRD data, users can utilize software like GSAS II. It's essential to analyze the peak positions and intensities in the XRD pattern to identify the unit cell type. Resources for understanding this process can be found on platforms like ResearchGate and Google Scholar, which may provide more detailed explanations than standard textbooks. The discussion highlights the need for clear, accessible sources to aid in interpreting XRD data effectively.

Hey guys,

I got an XRD data for my sample and want to determine its density. This requires finding lattice parameters. However, I'm not certain about the crystallographic system of my sample. How can I determine the type of the unit cell my sample has from XRD data (I can use GSAS II if needed)? Do you know a good source where I can study this?

Textbook I have (X-Ray Diffraction from Warren) doesn't explain it very clearly to me and Google search didn't give the good sources.
