Study of the phase composition of Fe2O3 and Fe2O3/TiO2 nanoparticles using X-ray diffraction and Debye formula

Abstract

Phase changes in Fe2O3 and Fe2O3/TiO2 nanoparticles were studied by X-ray diffraction. Because of a very small size of the particles, standard methods of data analysis based on the physical broadening of lines and instrumental function fail and calculations based on the Debye formula were used instead.
