Is it necessary for a amorphous material to show broad hump in X-ray diffraction profile?

I did XRD of both yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and alumina (Al2O3) thin films both of which were found to be amorphous using TEM. The XRD also indicated amorphous nature. However, in YSZ, I...

Dear Saqib,

I didn't mean that. Actually, I wanted to know is there any plug in for distinguishing cracks from pores to calculate the area fraction of cracks only.

I know this is an old thread, I would defintely recommend you visit www.MIPAR.us. I think it would work perfectly for your needs.

It is very powerful and intuitive 2D/3D image analysis software written by scientists/end-users and is about to be released as a free trial on December 14th. You can sign up on the site as well as submit images/datasets to test.

There are many image analysis options available, but I think you may just find MIPAR to be something special if you give it a try!
