Is it necessary for a amorphous material to show broad hump in X-ray diffraction profile?

I did XRD of both yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and alumina (Al2O3) thin films both of which were found to be amorphous using TEM. The XRD also indicated amorphous nature. However, in YSZ, I...

How does one separate out two different micro-structural features (say, pores and cracks) using image analysis ?

I was wondering, how does one use image analysis software (e.g. Image J) for separating cracks and pores in a microstructure of thermal spray coating.

Why does a tetragonal structure show peak splitting?

For example, yttria stabilized zirconia with tetragonal structure. The XRD of YSZ shows peak splitting at some angles. Why? Another thing why the 1st peak is not showing any splitting (at 30 degree)?

Thickness drop at substrate temperature of 573 k in pulsed laser deposition - any thoughts?

I deposited YSZ films by PLD. What I see that at RT deposition, a maximum thickness was achieved which sharply decreases to the minimum value at 573 K. With increase in substrate temperature...

Can I correlate microstructural information (FESEM) of the thin film with XRD results?

I have deposited Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) film by pulsed laser deposition at room temperature. The XRD shows formation of amorphous film while the FESEM structure shows columnar grains...

How to identify non-transformable tetragonal peaks in XRD as no such phase exists in the database?

While analyzing XRD of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), I found some peaks at around 73-74. Some peaks were matching with JCPDS database of zirconia. When I saw the literature, I found...
