Dear Colleagues
Good day
I would like to ask about the parameter (dhkl spacing) that we obtained from the XRD data, is it the spacing between grains or particles or atoms? And are the particle and the atom the same (i.e. the particle is the atom itself)?
Best regards with gratitude

The d-spacing can described as the distance between planes of atoms that give rise to diffraction peaks. Each peak in a diffractogram results from a corresponding d-spacing. The planes of atoms can be referred to a 3D coordinate system and so can be described as a direction within the crystal. So d-spacing as well as having a dimension, usually quoted in Ångstroms, can labelled with a plane direction hkl. This is why there is a subscript, it refers to a distance in that plane. Please read up on the Bragg equation - this will give you the information you need. I have added a link to the book by B. D. Cullity which is a seminal text.

Dear Fayroz
You need to develop good basics. I recommend you go through the books "X-ray diiffraction by Cullity" and also book by Klug and Alexander on these aspects.

The d-spacing is defined as inter-atomic spacing (D value in Angstrom units - 10-8 cm).
Each crystalline solid has its unique characteristic pattern which may be used as a "fingerprint" for its identification by XRD method.
d-spacing :can be defined as the spacing between successive (hkl) planes ,and about the question of atoms and particles ,as we know that the logical relation of Crystal structure ( lattice+basis=Crystal structure) , and according to definition of basis (when basis of atoms attached identically to each lattice point , we have Crystal structure)
Thank you very much... I really got benefit from your replies.

XRD d value from the diffractogram (Powder Diffraction)of the material
Theory Behind Calculations:
X-Rays are having wavelength between 0.01nm to 10nm. So it can can a useful technique to characterize different types of materials.
So, d- spacing can be calculated easily from the formula as:
Bragg's Law: nλ=2dsinθ
Or Order of Reflection (n) × Wavelength (λ) = 2 × Interplanar spacing (d) × Sinθ
Peak Position: (2 Theta)
X-Ray Wavelength(Lambda) : 1.5406 A(for Cu)
Order of Reflection : (n)
The d-spacing or the lattice spacing or inter-atomic spacing is the distance between the parallel planes of atoms. It is the minimum distance between two planes.
