Abstract
X-ray diffraction studies of the ultradisperse products of the solid-phase oxidative thermolysis of iron oxalate dehydrate are performed. Models are considered and diffraction patterns are calculated for the nanopowders of different crystalline modifications of iron oxide. Calculations are performed for the particles of various shapes and sizes, starting from one unit cell. Despite that the final product is the hematite phase, the reaction is shown to pass through the formation of particles with the ferrihydrite structure.
