Hi Jon, Funny you should mention the background... it was very low, as you say. Above 30 degrees the background averaged only 2 counts, with a minimum of 1 count and a maximum of 3 counts, throughout the rest of the spectrum. Scan time was 2 hours.
I also found that there was some kalpha2 in the spectrum, with Ka2/Ka1 = 0.05. - Kurt -----Original Message----- From: Jon Wright [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 4:05 AM To: rietveld_l@ill.fr Subject: Re: advice on new powder diffractometer Kurt Leinenweber wrote: > ... with wRp of 25% and crystallographic R also near 25% ..
