You may extract the answer of your question from the below achieved data from our research analysis. The seventy two Sb-based detached single crystals have been grown by the indigenous system (self-designed and developed in our lab) Vertical Directional solidification Process (VDS-Process). Research investigation of these crystals are reported here. First of all, care had been taken for the calibration, standardisation and alignment to avoid - i) for the larger shift towards 2Theta, which is due to sample displacement, and ii) for the throughout constant 2Theta is a misalignment in the system. The as grown entire detached ingots different samples were characterized. Specifically, XRD diffraction measurements informations had been obtained from the FWHM, diffraction peak height and shifting either left or right site of the 2Theta. For illustration, In(1-x)GaxSb (x<0.3), Ga(1-x)InxSb (x<0.3) and In0.5Ga0.5Sb as grown detached ingots research study has been given below. i) The lattice parameter of the crystals provide the slight shift of the peaks by doping, change in stoichiometry and composition. ii) The defects, stress, and composition is related to shift due to the change in lattice parameters. iii) The right or left shifts diffraction are due to the ionic radii between pristine elements and dopant ion. This could result in the increased or decreased crystalline size. iv) The shifts can be related to the substitution of elements or non-stoichiometric phase, structural transformation. Microstructures also affected the crystalline size, and lattice strain. v) The shifts either left or right of the 2Theta angles can provide changes in the FWHM, and peak height, which affects the crystals properties either by improvement or reduction. vi) The peaks shift by XRD diffraction, the left side shift reveals the lattice relaxation and the right side shift reveals the lattice strain. vii) The shift also related to the crystalline size by shrinking or contraction (right side) and expansion (left side) by the changes in lattice parameters. viii) Reduced FWHM corresponds to the higher crystallinity by reduced width and crystallization process. Above some samples showed quality improvement and in other reduction. viii) The shift to the right (higher 2Thet), the concentration showed contraction and the improved crystal properties (characterization) due to changes in the lattice parameters. ix) The shift to the left (lower 2Theta), the concentration showed the expansion and the reduced properties (characterization) due to changes in the lattice parameters. x) The analysis of detached In0.5Ga0.5Sb ingots showed the complex properties.

"But if we are talking of a bulk material, or other particular cases, yes, they will shift accordingly to the orientation! Thanks Lawerence Margulies, never thought on that before" Most likely because you've never seen or visualized the 2D diffraction pattern from a polycrystalline sample either with photographic film or with a 2D XRD detector. As Lawrence pointed out, individual grains may shift based on local stress/strain conditions as well as orientation of individual "grains" when bulk is deformed. In thin films the stress/strain imbalance between substrate and film (epi and polycrystalline), I would have to think there to be some sort of an interface layer with additional dislocations to transition from compressive to tensile and vice versa. https://www.flickr.com/photos/85210325@N04/14348488010/in/album-72157645018820696/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRcj_t1WgVs&index=21&list=PL7032E2DAF1F3941F

actually, residual stress can shift some peaks in one direction, and other peaks in the opposite direction. This is due to the need to balance stress at grain boundaries, and satisfy constraints on the strain tensor (for example a tensile stress along one direction must be balanced by a compressive stress in the normal direction, so the direction of peak shift is often hkl dependent.

Yea, 2 theta (degree) will change and accordingly present phase ( lattice parameter) will change. Each 2 theta value corresponds the present phases at 2 theta in XRD diffraction pattern.

If you change the temperature or the composition of a material, the until cell dimensions (lattice parameters) will change which will result in a shift of peaks (and not all my the same amount even in the same direction). Changes in intensity of peaks can be a result of a number of things, most likely either a composition change in the unit cell or a change in ordering. Also higher angle peaks will decrease in intensity with temperature faster than lower angle peaks. If you have anisotropic thermal parameters the change will be hkl dependent as well as angle dependent. If you want to truly "explain" these effects you will have to refine the structure at each temperature or composition and look for correlations between crystallographic properties and temperature(by fitting the thermal expansion coefficient) or composition. I have no idea was Sha is talking about, but it obviously applies only to a very specific type of material, and most likely has nothing to do with your case.

"But if we are talking of a bulk material, or other particular cases, yes, they will shift accordingly to the orientation! Thanks Lawerence Margulies, never thought on that before"
Most likely because you've never seen or visualized the 2D diffraction pattern from a polycrystalline sample either with photographic film or with a 2D XRD detector. As Lawrence pointed out, individual grains may shift based on local stress/strain conditions as well as orientation of individual "grains" when bulk is deformed.
In thin films the stress/strain imbalance between substrate and film (epi and polycrystalline), I would have to think there to be some sort of an interface layer with additional dislocations to transition from compressive to tensile and vice versa.

- What is the processing history of your samples?
- Where is the XRD data that you have been eluding to?
- What XRD instrumentation was used?
- What calibration measurements do you have?
- What is the standard used to calibrate your diffractometer?
