What is physical meaning of Step size in XRD measurement? I am also curious about to how much beam width is kept during X-ray diffraction measurement?

We need to give two different parametrs during XRD pattern measurement i.e. Step size and Step time. Based on this we calculate scan rate of measurement. Is step size and X-ray beam width has any...

In most of the cases, you can simply measure the damaged distance. An Icon (question mark type) is available to measure it.

Thank you Medhi and Vivek for you answers but I would like to know. How will the PE (plastic strain) visualization providing me the crack dimensions? I guess PE will only give the direction of vector normal to crack plane and is assumed parallel to Maximum principle plastic strain
