X-ray powder diffraction patterns of Bi2-xSbxTe3 (x=0, 0.2, 0.5, 1.5, 1.8, 2.0) nanoparticles

The data set contains X-ray powder diffraction patterns of Bi2-xSbxTe3 (x=0, 0.2, 0.5, 1.5, 1.8, 2.0) nanoparticles, synthesized utilizing microwave-assisted heating. Diffraction data were collected at room temperature using a benchtop Rigaku MiniFlex 600 diffractometer with Bragg-Brentano θ-2θ geometry. An X-ray tube with a copper anode (Cu Kα radiation, λ =1.5418 Å), operated at U = 40 kV and I = 15 mA, was used as a source. Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 are isostructural and crystallize in a rhombohedral crystal system with the space group R-3m (No. 166).
