Abstract

This study systematically investigates the influence of lattice strain and particle size in iron powder produced through milling, employing X-ray powder diffraction. The determination of lattice strain (ε) and the Debye-Waller factor (B) is accomplished by analyzing Bragg reflection half-widths and integrated intensities. Significantly, the Debye-Waller factor exhibited a notable increase with lattice strain. By establishing a correlation between stress and the influential Debye-Waller factor, we derived a precise relationship tailored to Fe. Additionally, we delved into the variation of the vacancy formation energy as a function of lattice strain, thereby unveiling crucial insights into the mechanistic aspects governing Fe powder behavior during mechanical milling. This investigation enhances our understanding of Fe’s structural properties and offers novel perspectives for optimizing milling processes in diverse industrial applications.

Keywords: X-ray diffraction, lattice strain, particle size, Debye-Waller factor, vacancy formation energy
