Just curious, is the sample as prepared in the holder wider than the beam width at 10 degrees where you start the scan? This is a common issue that not many realize that for quantitative analysis the diffracting volume is constant provided the sample is larger than the beam in the tube and detector

It depends on how the peak position is determined, if the position is for the Ka1, use that value, if the position used is for the whole peak comprised of both Ka1 and Ka2 use the weighted average. Cheers, Ed On Mon, Jan 7, 2019 at 3:05 PM Nelsonsd wrote: > Dear colleagues > > I have a small qu

CJ, When doing any quantitative analysis based on intensity one must ensure that the sample is larger than the diffracting volume; i.e. the area of projection is larger at lower angles while the depth of penetration decreases. Make sure the sample is long enough and thick enough. When doing this t

How was the Pellet made? Could be residual stresses on the surface. Cheers, Ed On Fri, Dec 8, 2017 at 9:35 AM, François Goutenoire < francois.gouteno...@univ-lemans.fr> wrote: > Dear Rietveld users, > > We observe an unusual asymmetric peak shape on pellet and not when the > sample has been cru

Re: Sample damaging during XRD

There should be no damage but you may see a slit change in color where the beam hits the sample, a temporary change in the color center. I suggest running your generator at 45 kV and 35 mA you will get more intensity. Cheers, Ed On Sun, May 21, 2017 at 12:21 PM, Shay Tirosh wrote: > Dear Rietve

Try Pearson's Crystal database on CD he also has one published Pearson's handbook of crystallographic data. Regards, Ed On Mon, Jun 13, 2016 at 9:29 PM, Rachid Abkar wrote: > I need please atomic position for both structure Ba2TeO4 space group > pbcn(60) and Ba2TeO5 Space Group: P41212 (92)

Nelson, The easiest way to understand this is to insert values for the crystallite size and look at the FWHM it produces. The limit is the resolution of the FWHM measurement on your instrument, often based on step size. You can also determine the minimum FWHM you can differentiate and solve for th

Stephen, The peak profile gives information about the crystallite or coherent diffracting domain size along with microstrain. You cannot not get a grain size unless the crystallite size can be related to the grain size from knowledge of the microstructure. The crystallite size can be estimated
