Dear All,

Does anyone know where I can find the structural info. (space group,
atomic positions, etc.) for zorite- a sodium titanium aluminum silicate
hydrate? 

Thanks,

I would also be interested in obtaining values for an automatic
divergence slit. I run Xfit and estimating the settings for a
diffractometer with automatic divergence slit and graphite monochromator
is not an easy task.

 Hi Angel Luis,
please specify the tube (type) and the additional equipment (automatic

After some scans, and up to now, the technique of mixing the
sample with a solid filler material (like Cab-osil M5) or dusting
a sample through a sieve are the clear (less expensive) winners 
of this private round robin, provided the mixture is inserted in
a side-loading  sample holder and never packed. Moreover a 
mixture fifty-fifty in volume is recommended with the amorphous
solid filler technique.

Transmission geometry favours of course preferred orientation
directions at 90° from the reflection geometry one. With
platelet habit clay minerals and 00l orientation by reflection
geometry (and say, a March-Dollase parameter which can
be easily as low as 0.5 when a sample is packed), one obtains
with transmission geometry the reverse : a March-Dollase
parameter as high as 1.5, selecting the same 00l orientation
direction by the Rietveld method (no orientation corresponding
to MD=1.0). The problem of course is that Rietveld refinements
are of quite low quality when the MD is so different from 1

Refinament by BGMN

1999-01-29 Thread Angel Luis Ortiz Seco

Dear all

I am working with a Philips PW-1800 diffractometer and I want to do
Rietveld's refinament by BGMN code.

I need some variables of it; as goniometer radius, height and width
of the X-ray tube´s focus, radius and width of the horizontal divergence
slit, divergence angle of the primary collimator, radius and width of the
vertical divergence slit, divergence angle of the secondary collimator,
width and height of the detector slit, radius of a secondary monochromator

Can anybody help me?

Thank a lot of.

If you really want a minimum background then silicon is better than

SIROQUANT XRD analyses

1999-01-29 Thread David Tilley

Quantitative XRD analysis of samples can be very time consuming. I would
like to introduce to you a labour-saving service based on the internet that
may be of benefit to you or your company.  I am a registered user of
SIROQUANT software who specialises in the quantitative analysis of
minerals in rock, regolith and soil materials.
Please visit my web-site www.users.bigpond.com/Dr.Dave for more background
information.
Below are my prices for the service.
PRICES
$40 (Aus) to quantify X-ray diffraction data* that is supplied to me via the
internet.
*For mineral identification add $30 (Aus).
The price for quantitative analysis of samples is based on the assumption
that the minerals are present in the SIROQUANT database. For more
information please e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I look forward to being of assistance to you.
Yours faithfully,
Dr David B Tilley BSc(Hons) PhD
