Hi all, The plot was generated for inclusion in a paper I wrote originally for the yet-to-be-published Volume H of the International Tables for Crystallography. Due yet another delay in the publication of Vol H, it is due to be published in the Journal of Research at NIST very shortly (it may go into Vol H as well sometime next year). Once this is done it will be available online for consumption. It is in the final stages of review; if you would like a preprint, send me an email.
Why don't you put these plots on your sales site: https://www-s.nist.gov/srmors/viewTableH.cfm?tableid=149 The SRM people would never do this as they would have to explain the plot in a technical manner to inquiring customers.

I should have checked that my reply did not also include Jim's illustration, which was actually not an "attachment" but part of an HTML email. I guess that is why it was not filtered out. It is rather amusing and a good joke on me. As penance I will re-instate Jim, but I still think he should put such useful illustrations on his NIST product page and just link to them. As it is, the essential information is lost to the Rietveld archive, which doesn't reproduce anything more than text. Regards, Alan.

Your reply telling Jim he is banned for sending an attachment contained the same attachment. I believe many clients default to include attachments when mails are forwarded or redirected, but strip the attachment when a user chooses "reply.” Perhaps your email system doesn’t do that or needs to be configured to do that? (I’m sure several Rietveld List users will find the humor in this and wonder if you are now banned, but I think things got touchy enough a few weeks ago and so hope we can avoid too much back-and-forth about that. After all, it can be very hard in an email to tell the subtleties of when someone is joking, poking fun, being puckish, reproachful, chiding, scolding, rebuking… and all with differences depending on language and culture.)

I was not aware of this kind of silicon standard until now. But can't be polycrystallinity of Silicon a drawback to use it as standard? Or is there a way to "purify" a single phase suitable to use as standard? I have always found more useful having LaB6 or corundum (whenever LaB6 is expensive to find) to use it as standard to compare instrumental peak broadening. In some of the Rietveld software I use or I know, also yttria is used to determine peak broadening. Which criteria do you use when choosing a suitable pxrd standard to compare your unknown? Why? Thanks for the enlightening discussion. Fabrizio Guzzetta Ph.D. student, Dept.

NIST offers no such standard of silicon in a disc format. But I can suggest that you consider SRM 640e which is supplied as powder. One can mount a specimen of it carefully to obtain high density and a flat specimen surface, and then infiltrate the powder bed with silicone based liquid resin such as Vacseal. See: http://www.2spi.com/catalog/vac/vacleak.shtml The surface of the compact will darken to a uniform color when the infiltration is complete. This will result in a stable compact with the diffraction properties of SRM 640e. Regards, Jim James P.

I am looking into purchasing a silicon powder standard wafer for PXRD instrument alignment. However, I am not sure where to get one or how much I might expect one to cost. My questions to all of you are: - Do you know where I could purchase this type of standard? - How much would you expect to pay for one? - I have been told Gem Dugout makes these, but they may not be around any more. Does anyone know what happened to them? Thank you very much for your help, and I hope you all have a great weekend! - Lindsay Young ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please do NOT attach files to the whole list <alan.he...@neutronoptics.com<mailto:alan.he...@neutronoptics.com>> Send commands to <lists...@ill.fr<mailto:lists...@ill.fr>> eg: HELP as the subject with no body text The Rietveld_L list archive is on http://www.mail-archive.com/rietveld_l@ill.fr/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please do NOT attach files to the whole list <alan.he...@neutronoptics.com<mailto:alan.he...@neutronoptics.com>> Send commands to <lists...@ill.fr<mailto:lists...@ill.fr>> eg: HELP as the subject with no body text The Rietveld_L list archive is on http://www.mail-archive.com/rietveld_l@ill.fr/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -- ______________________________________________ Dr Alan Hewat, NeutronOptics, Grenoble, FRANCE <alan.he...@neutronoptics.com<mailto:alan.he...@neutronoptics.com>> +33.476.98.41.68 http://www.NeutronOptics.com/hewat<http://www.neutronoptics.com/hewat> ______________________________________________ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please do NOT attach files to the whole list <alan.he...@neutronoptics.com<mailto:alan.he...@neutronoptics.com>> Send commands to <lists...@ill.fr<mailto:lists...@ill.fr>> eg: HELP as the subject with no body text The Rietveld_L list archive is on http://www.mail-archive.com/rietveld_l@ill.fr/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -- ______________________________________________ Dr Alan Hewat, NeutronOptics, Grenoble, FRANCE <alan.he...@neutronoptics.com<mailto:alan.he...@neutronoptics.com>> +33.476.98.41.68 http://www.NeutronOptics.com/hewat ______________________________________________
