10.4 The rings in both Figs 10.11(a) and (b) have the same diameters and hence show the same
sequence of d -spacings. The diameters of the rings represent a 4θ(not 2θ) angle, hence
tan2θ = radius of ring/specimen film distance, from which, and using Bragg’s law, the d -
spacings can be determined. Referring to the table, the sequence of indices is (110), (040),
(130) (the first three strong reflections in the zero layer-line in Fig. 10.11(b)), (111), (131)
(the weaker reflections in the first layer-lines above and below) and (022), (112) (the very
faint reflections in the second layer lines).
Since the reflections in the zero layer-line are all of type {hk0}, they have a common
zone axis [001] which is parallel to the tensile axis and the direction of the polymer chains.
10.5 The 2θ angles and d-spacings of the peaks in (a) should first be checked to confirm that they
correspond to the 110, 200 and 211 reflections for α-Fe (a = 2.866Å). The half-height peak
widths (measurable only to a limited accuracy) give β(= β

0.006 and 0.008 respectively which give residual stress values (σ =

range 1.10 ∼ 0.92 GPa. These are considerably greater than the yield stress of mild steel
indicating that a large component of the broadening arises from a reduction in crystallite
size.
10.6 The β values for the peaks are determined in the same way as for Exercise 10.5. Substituting
these values into the Scherrer equation β = λ/t cos θ gives grain size (t) values in the range
35–50 nm. Notice also the small peak shifts; these arise from variations in the α lattice
parameters as a result of a change in vanadium concentration following precipitation of the
vanadium-rich β phase.

11.1 The equation to be derived follows from the discussion in Section 11.1. Since eV =

2meV . The
numerical values obtained by substituting the m, e and V values are 10 kV: 12.2 pm
(12.2 pm); 100 kV: 3.88 pm (3.70 pm); 1 MV: 1.22 pm (0.87 pm). The relativistically
corrected values are in brackets, from which it is seen that the differences between the
values are insignificant at 10 kV, significant at 100 kV and very significant at 1 MV.
