Which analysis method in XRD analysis is the most accurate way to measure crystallite size & lattice starin? Scherrer, Williamson-Hall or Rietveld?

Here are three different ways to calculate crystallite size and lattice strain of a sample, based on XRD peaks: "Scherrer" calculation, "Williamson-Hall" or "Rietveld". Each calculation is proper...

Dear Rayappa Shrinivas Mahale ,

a detaild answer will cover a lot of text here.

Such work has been done already elsewhere.

The simplest thing for you is to have a look at approriate tutorials for example on youtube. Search by approriate buzz words...

Good luck and best regards

Preferably, use some other software. I did not find Highscore useful at all. Go either for fullprof or JANA2020. There are free workshops for JANA2020 software and also very clear manual with examples is provided.

Michal Hegedus, how can you say that HSP isn't useful for Rietveld refinement? Do you have the software?

Respected Sir Match software free version is available or we need to take licensed version?
