Abstract
An attempt is made to differentiate between the effects of fine grain and of lattice distortion on the X-ray spectrum of a metal. A method is suggested for calculating the proportionate contribution of each factor to the broadening of the X-ray diffraction lines. The results are applied to the particular case of electrodeposited nickel; it is shown that both factors must be taken into account in considering the observed diffusion of the X-ray spectra of nickel in this form.
