✦ Synopsis

X-Ray Study of Strained CdTe Powders

Lattice strains have been produced in cadmium telluride by grinding for different durations. X-ray diffractograms have been obtained at different stages of grinding. The lattice constants, particle size, lattice strain and Debye-Waller factors have been determined. From the correlation between the strain and the effective Debye-Waller factor, the Debye-Waller factor for zero strain has been estimated.
