X-ray line profile analysis is a powerful alternative tool for determining dislocation densities, dislocation type, crystallite and subgrain size and size-distributions, and planar defects, especially the frequency of twin boundaries and stacking faults. The method is especially useful in the case of submicron grain size or nanocrystalline materials, where X-ray line broadening is a well pronounced effect, and the observation of defects with very large density is often not easy by transmission electron microscopy. The fundamentals of X-ray line broadening are summarized in terms of the different qualitative breadth methods, and the more sophisticated and more quantitative whole pattern fitting procedures. The efficiency and practical use of X-ray line profile analysis is shown by discussing its applications to metallic, ceramic, diamond-like and polymer nanomaterials.

High resolution X-ray line profile analysis is sensitive to crystallite size, dislocation densities and character, and to planar defects, especially stacking faults or twinning. The different effects of microstructure features can be evaluated separately on the basis of the different corresponding profile functions and the different hkl dependences of line broadening. Profiles of faulted crystals consist of sub-profiles broadened and shifted according to different hkl conditions. The systematic analysis of the breadts and shifts of sub-profiles enables X-ray line profile analysis by using defect related profile functions corresponding to: (i) size, (ii) strain and (iii) planar faults, respectively. It is shown that twinning can either be enhanced or weakened by severe plastic deformation.

Glycine-Montmorillonite (Gly-MMT) composite has been synthesized through intercalation process using Na-Montmorillonite (Na- MMT) and glycine ethylester hydrochloride. Gly-MMT was employed for the synthesis of dipeptide (Gly-Gly-MMT). Microstructural parameters such as crystallite size, r.m.s. strain (<e2>1/2) and layer disorder parameters such as variation of interlayer spacing (g) and proportion of planes affected by such defects (?) of the samples have been calculated by X-ray line profile analysis. In comparison to Na-MMT the basal spacings (d001) of Gly-MMT and Gly-Gly-MMT were reduced by 2.4Å and 1.8Å respectively. The value of d001 of Gly-Gly-MMT (13.3 Å) suggests the monolayer orientation of dipeptide into interlayer spaces. It is also suggested that more homogeneity in the stacking of silicate layers is attained in Gly-Gly-MMT due to the increased chain length of the dipeptide and orientation in monolayer style.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/dujs.v60i1.10331Dhaka Univ.
