Analysis of structural properties of X-ray diffraction for composite copper-activated carbon by modified Williamson-Hall and size-strain plotting methods

Structural properties of composite carbon with metal Cu (CCu) were analysis from the X-ray Diffraction (XRD) data by modified Williamson-Hall (W-H) and size-strain plotting methods. The effect of temperature shows influenced to increasing the resistance from 37.3% at room temperature to 66.4% for 600°C. By using the modified equation of Williamson-Hall, we found that the crystallite size about 40.78 nm. Modified Williamson-Hall (W-H) plotting and Gaussian distribution shows good correlation and accuration for determining the crystallite size from the XRD data in this study. (paper)
