Abstract

A diffraction profile can be recorded for only a finite range around the peak. This leads to spurious oscillations in the block-size distribution determined by means of the Fourier transform. The Bertaut [Acta Cryst. (1952), 5, 117-121] correction gives an approximate distribution g1(m) related to the real one g(m) by a convolution product with a function d(m), of the type (sin x)/x. A modified variant of the successive-convolution unfolding method is proposed by considering the convolution product only over a finite size range where the distribution could be non-zero. The method was tested for two hypothetical distributions. A procedure to set the limits of the size interval is suggested.
