“…Below, we demonstrate that this method allows us not only to fit the experimental curves but also to extract from the data four parameters important for the nanopowder specification, namely, (i) the mean particle size in a powder L, (ii) the standard deviation of size distribution function δL, (iii) the disorder strength parameter S, and, with less accuracy, (iv) the particle shape parameterized by the faceting number p. It becomes possible only with the microscopic theory [34][35][36] of the phonon line broadening at hands. Indeed, this theory predicts various broadenings Γ n for various phonon modes ω n .…”
