I want to perform quantitative analysis for my XPS spectrum using curve fitting approach. I'm Mac user, can anybody recommend me any free source XPS software which can also process .txt files (I have raw data in .txt format).
As far as I know, on a Mac, the best you will do for free is ... nothing.
You could run Windows in a Virtual Machine. Then, these sites have some options to explore.

You can also follow this discussion from last year.

Please do not attach software. Point to the link where it can be downloaded. This practice may violate the terms of the software release, if not propagate viruses and malware.
Sorry for attaching the software. Please download XPSpeak4.1 in the following link.

Well, the original question was posted some time ago ... but just in case someone has the same problem now:
http://www.igorexchange.com/project/XPStools
This is a program for Igor Pro:
https://www.wavemetrics.com/
which runs just fine with MacOS. There is also a youtube channel that explains how to use it. The current version is for Igor 7. I think you can try Igor for a 30-day period, if you don't want to buy it right away (although your department maybe has a license).
Theoretically:
From XRD patterns as follows:
Variations in the height of the specimen in its holder, whether increasing or decreasing, cause XRD peaks to change from their original location.
Important and useful pathways are connected to the XRD Curve:
Scherrer’s equation:
Particle Size, D = (0.9 x λ)/ (d cosθ)
λ = 1.54060 Å (in the case of CuKa1) so, 0.9 x λ = 1.38654
Θ = 2θ/2 (in the example = 20/2)
d = the full width at half maximum intensity of the peak (in Rad) – you can calculate it using Origin software.
To convert from angle to rad
Rad = (22 x angle) / (7 x 180) = angle x 0.01746
Example: if d = 0.5 angle (θ)
= (22 x 0.5)/ (7x 180) = 0.00873 rad
Then
Delta=1/D^2
