Hi to all!, in fact, the Cagliti's expression is just a way to show the angular variation of fwhm, as was mentioned was usef for neutron diffraction and adopted in XRD, we can also build another dependence such as FWMH vs 2theta directly and it is useful to evaluate size and strain, the problem i

According to Caglioti relation, the dimensions of U,V,W are as (angle)^2. Quick question - does anyone have a trick to stop the Cagliotti formula going negative? Prodd currently has a habit of bugging out on a sqrt(negative) and I'm wondering how other folks worked around that, or if I've go
