title: Crystallite size determination for supported metal catalysts by single X-ray profile fourier analysis.
abstract: An X-ray diffraction method is presented capable of determining the average particle size, microstrains, the probability of faults as well as a particle size distribution function in crystalline materials. The method is based on the Fourier analysis of a single X-ray diffraction profile. Results obtained on supported platinum catalysts used in H/D isotopic exchange reactions are reported. On the basis of experimental spectra and our XRLINE1 code all structural parameters could be obtained.
