Effect of non‐linearity error in the Warren–Averbach analysis

The effect of the counting losses on the values of the strain and particle size determined by the Warren–Averbach method is discussed. The analysis of the error transmission is performed by introducing a known error in simulated profiles, corresponding to a predetermined degree of deformation. The effect of the error on the Fourier transform of the profiles, and on the plots relating the squared strain and particle-size coefficients to the column length is discussed.
