XRD analysis (d-spacing, crystallite size, crystallinity) from data points by using Fityk

This video illustrates X-ray Diffraction analysis of materials by using the freeware software Fityk and MS Excel. Specifically, it describes how to use these tools for baseline correction, peak deconvolution, calculation of area under the peak, d-spacing, FWHM and crystallite size. The purpose of creating this video is to give an idea to the undergraduate students in the domain of materials science/ polymer engineering about the practical knowledge to analyze XRD data in an effective way.
