What the article says around this equation
where is the known X-ray wavelength, d is the spacing between a family of lattice planes, and is half the scattering angle at which a peak appears. Peak positions alone give the lattice parameters; peak intensities and shapes carry the rest of the story, and that is where the real work is.
