The discussion centers on the use of a MATLAB script for detecting peaks and calculating the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) from data, with the user noting discrepancies in crystallite sizes compared to an online calculator. Key factors affecting these differences include strain, orientation, grain geometry, and potential issues with peak profiles and baseline corrections. The user expresses a lack of crystallography knowledge, seeking guidance on interpreting the results. Suggestions include exploring freeware like Fityk and resources from CCP14 for further analysis. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding various factors that can influence crystallite size measurements.

I have developed a script in MATLAB that can detect peaks from datas and that can find FWHM of detected peaks. Scripts gives reliable results but crystallites sizes are different a little from this http://mahendrakoppolu.blogspot.com.tr/2013/07/online-crystallite-size-calculator.html

Link to my data: http://pastebin.com/Ut9YgKGs

I made all conversion, degree to rad. The problem is that I don't have enough crystallography background to interpret the data. So how can I be sure from the values?

Check also this if you are interested in script.

Dear OP.
The difference between the calculator and your determination can be:
1. Strain/stress peak broadening.
2. Orientation.
3. grain geometry.
4. Superposition of different phases.
5. Non-Gaussian peak profile.
6. Different geometric constant.
7. Improper baseline subtraction.
8. Improper internal shift corrections.
9. Different instrumental broadening.

In case you are interested please refer to Retrieved mailing list.
There is freeware available that can help in determinate grain size like Fityk.
You can visit also CCP14 (sends for computational crystallography) where you can accesses to many software, shareware, freewares and applications.

Goodluck
 
A relative asked me about the following article: Experimental observation of a time rondeau crystal https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-025-03028-y I pointed my relative to following article: Scientists Discovered a Time Crystal That Reveals a New Way to Order Time https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/scientists-discovered-time-crystal-reveals-180055389.html This area is outside of my regular experience. I'm interested in radiation effects in polycrystalline material, i.e., grain...
