No spurious diffractions due to crystallographic impurities are
found [2]. Like this, no any spurious diffraction which indicating the crystallographic
impurities in the sample. All the reflections correspond to pure silver metal with face
centered cubic symmetry. The high intense peak for FCC materials is generally (1 1 1)
reflection, which is observed in the sample. The intensity of peaks reflected the high degree
of crystallinity of the silver nanoparticles. However, the diffraction peaks are broad which
indicating that the crystallite size is very small [3]. The XRD shows that silver nanoparticles
formed are crystalline. The size of the Ag nanoparticles estimated from the Debye–Scherrer
formula (Instrumental broadening) is 24 nm.
