Lattice strains have been produced in cadmium telluride by grinding for different durations. X‐ray diffractograms have been obtained at different stages of grinding. The lattice constants, particle size, lattice strain and Debye‐Waller factors have been determined. From the correlation between the strain and the effective Debye‐Waller factor, the Debye‐Waller factor for zero strain has been estimated.
