Simulation and modeling of the powder diffraction pattern from nanoparticles: studying the influence of surface strain

Accurate statistical characterization of nanomaterials is crucial for their use in emerging technologies. This work investigates how different structural characteristics of metal nanoparticles influence the line profiles of the corresponding powder diffraction pattern. The effects of crystallite siz...
