X-Ray Diffraction Pattern of Graphite Oxide

X-ray diffraction patterns of graphite oxide（GO）are theoretically simulated as a function of the displacements of carbon atoms using the Debye-Waller factor in terms of the Warren-Bodenstein equation.The results demonstrate that GO has the turbostratically stacked structure.The high order（001）peaks gradually disappear with the increase in atomic thermal vibrations along c-axis while the（hkO）ones weaken for the vibrations along a-axis.When the displacement deviation ua=0.015 nm and uc=0.100 nm the computed result is consistent with the experimental measurements.
