On the Intrinsic Limits of the Convolution Method to Obtain the Crystallite Size Distribution from Nanopowders Diffraction

The present work briefly reviews the convolution of crystallite shape functions and discusses its experimental limitations. The diffraction from a theoretical spherical shape powder is used to exemplify the limits of the convolution procedure. Mean lattice distortions were not considered since the d...
