What is the reason for shifting of peaks in the glancing angle thin film(glass substrate) XRD?

What is the reason for current dropping in OER , LSV curve?

I tried four trials of the same Copper Phosphides sample in Alkaline medium ( 0.5M KOH) with Hg/HgO reference electrode and Pt as counter electrode. I used 0.001 V/s scan rate for first three...

How do I conformally do PR spin coating on trench structure?

I did PR spin coating on trench structure. I used AZ P4620 PR and the thickness or PR is around 11um. The substrate is Si. And my trench structure depth is 141um(negative way). Even though I...

How to understand this crystallographic phenomenon of low temperature crystals in zeolite?

During low-temperature testing, new diffraction peaks that appear could be indicative of several phenomena. In one of our tests, we observed notable new peaks around 40° and 45° in a specific...

Generally, the shift of the peaks in XRD can be attributed to:

1- The change of the d-spacing of the investigated system, this may attributed to many reasons including the effect of dopant, strain, surface (for nanomaterials

Kshetramohan Dehury

How the effect of the dopant and strain attributed to change of d spacing in the investigated system?

Please refer to any textbook on XRD, Elements of X-Ray Diffraction by Cullity, B. D is a good one.
