Respected Members,

I have some queries regarding X ray diffraction
analysis and modern
techniques.

1)can we calculate dislocation density from X ray
diffraction? If yes please explain in briefly .

2)If we can measure dislocation densities then can we
quantify by X ray diffraction?


I will be very thankful for your further comments.

Thanks

Chandra.

You mean by the Rietveld method ?

Well, some formula are the same for any kind of
dislocation. This should raise some doubt about 
their validity.

So, I would briefly answer, concerning these formula : 

No.

But contrary opinions are also circulating. No real
consensus.

See the book :
http://www.oup.co.uk/isbn/0-19-850189-7
and go to that future conference :

Theories by Krivoglaz (Theory of X-ray and thermal neutron scattering by
real crystals, (1969), New-York: Plenum) are linking strain line broadening
to dislocation densities. 

Formulas have been derived, for example in the case of the hexagonal
structure (Klimanek and Kuzel, J. Appl. Crystallogr. 21 (1988) 59-66, 21
(1988) 363-368, 22 (1989) 299-307) and applied to the case of
hydrided-dehydrided Pd (cubic) or LaNi5 type materials (hexagonal) (Wu et
al, J. Appl. Crystallogr. 31 (1998) 356-362, 363-368, Cerny and Joubert, J.
Appl. Crystallogr. 33 (2000) 997-1005).

 The latter compounds show very high anisotropic line broadening
exclusively due to dislocation density. The analysis allow the
determination of the slip system involved and the measurement of the
dislocation density.
