Abstract
DURING the past few years many investigations have been made of the effects of cold work on the X-ray line profiles of polycrystalline metals. Analysis of the profile broadening has been used to determine particle size, stacking fault probability and strain relationships. Using these same analytical methods, work is now in progress here on the investigation of broadening produced by cold work on face-centred cubic compounds of the alkali halides. This communication covers three of the compounds which have been investigated, namely, sodium chloride, potassium bromide and sodium fluoride.
