Hello Wing I'm unable to get NIST 660 because they have been out of stock for a few months As described by D. Balzar et al. (http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S0021889804022551), annealed CeO2 is an equivalent alternative. Franz Werner -- Tallinn University of Technology Department of Chemistry --

Explaining for broadening of peaks due to a shift of theta in theta-two theta scanning?

2010-02-19 Thread Huy LE-QUOC
Dear Rietvelders, To avoid the gigantic peaks of Si substrate (which are too dominant over peaks of phases in investigation on a thin film of 3 micron), we have tried to take a scan theta-two theta with a shift of 3 degree for theta (i.e. instead of theta-2theta corresponding to 5-10 degree

Besides Joerg's suggestion of mis-cut substrates (which may be too expensive for use for thin film growth experiments) you could use Si wafers cut to (100). The first allowed peak in that direction is (400), which is at about 70 degrees 2theta for Cu K-alpha. That will still reflect any

Dear Huy, as it was pointed out in previous letter by Joerg Bergmann, line broadening is caused by violation of theta-2theta relationship. More info can be found in the following articles: 1. R. Berthold. Z. Angew. Phys. 7 (1955) 443. 2. H. Toraya, J. Yoshino. J. Appl. Cryst. 27 (1994) 961.

Such an offset of the theta (omega) axis violates the para-focusing condition of the Bragg-Brentano geometry. You will get diffracted intensity from positions far below and above the gonimeter axis, i.e. far outside the focusing circle. The only option to reduce this effect is a reduction of

Hello! I'm not conversant with Raman spectroscopy, but I wouldn't recommend EDS analyses for precisely establishing chemical composition, especially if You mean analyzing the 3D (not thin section) samples scanning electron microscope equipped with EDS - it would just be laden with error

Microstructural analysis by fullprof

Dear Rietvelders, I am using Fullprof to microstructural analysis of particles. I have one type of particle but different sample with different sizes (particles increase after heat treatment). Their crystallites size fluctuates between 10nm and 1µm. I know that 1µm is big for a refinement

Hi all, The certification of SRM 660b has been completed and the paperwork is in the final stages of review, etc. This process typically takes no longer than a couple of months. The new SRM has been prepared with a dedicated processing run to synthesize LaB6 with the 11boron isotope enriched
