Hi Can you kindly post the plot of your data and will you let me know the elements those are present in your sample as well as your sample history. Whether it is organic, inorganic and little info about its synthesis...
Post more details about the sample and its processing history.

Plot the XRD pattern by copy your data and past in Origin software, then you can get the peak positions (2 theta). By comparing the relative intensity and peak positions of your sample with those of JCPD card, you can identify the phase composition of your sample. The attached is the typical example of XRD pattern you should plot.
Maybe you can identify your data by using free software like matchcrystal. By using this software you can see highest intensity compare to to theta. If you want some details information you can use TOPAS. Both of these software required different extention of dara than Word file.
First plot the data Intensity Vs Angle (2 theta) using different software from basic Microsoft Excel to Origin Software and many more. If you have reference XRD (from different paper) for your synthesized sample you can compare it and see weather you got what you wanted or not. In addition you can also compare your peak positions and intensity with those of JCPD card and identify the phases present in your sample.
Hi
you can use XPert Highscore
HighScore is the ideal software for phase identification
Please paste the original data. Instrument configuration, compounds or elements.
But I suggest to get another data by step size of 0.02 (max) and scan time of 1 second (min) for 0D or 0.4 for PSD (angular ~ 2 2theta).
I attached a Pawley fit from this data. As u can see the R is so High, though GOF easily < 2. Some more there's a undetermine peak's present.
Dear Akinlolu Kayode
You can use Origin software program to plot you data, use X-axis for 2 theta and Y-axis for intensity. After you get the plot, you find the significant peaks that appear in the plot and determine the highest intensity for each one separately, divide this value by two to get the FWHM of each peak, enlarge the curve at (Intensity/2) the value you got and find the width of this peak which represents beta in degree. Convert beta to rad as follows: beta (rad)=(beta(deg)*pi)/180.
Determine the degree of this peak (2 theta), divide it by 2 to get theta in degree. then apply this equation to find the grain size (D):
D=(0.9*lambda)/(beta(rad)*cos(theta)).
0.9 represents the shape factor so it can be changed according to your sample, lambda represents the wavelength of the incident radiation which depends on the instrument used for measurement.
If you have polycrystalline thin film, you can take the grain size average for all significant peaks.
I hope this will be useful for you and help in your analysis.
Best of luck
