Dear scholars,
I run XRD on nanocomposite films. It would be highly appreciated if you let me know about any methods to compute the crystalline/amorphous content of my sample.
Thanks,
Sachin Jaidka
Please see below the previous RG Q/A:-https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_to_determine_amorphous_to_crystalline_ratio_in_an_XRD_pattern

You can carry out X-ray diffraction analysis for your samples and you can view the pattern. It shows the variation of crytsalline and amorphous nature.
I Think Wide Angle XDiffraction can help
The best approach is by Rietveld Method. With right software and a math background, its possible to take into account different sources of background noise and distinguish then between the amorphous content contribuition (http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?ce5094).
Other way is to use a known standard with your sample (http://www.xrd.us/technote/amorphous%20content%20determination.htm).
