I think that I just did a good job in my quantification: 50,2% calcite and
49,8% dolomite. Now I´m moving foward to a sinthetic mixture of calcite,
dolomite and kaolinite.
I have other questin, how can I determine a trustable value to the Full
Axial Model?! Especially the these paramters: sample lenght, source lenght
and RS lenght?!?!
I´m starting to realize that the temperature factors are the key to the
refinement! They change the calculated pattern so much!!!

Leandro :
here is an example of calcite I used. You can use min and max to confine
the parameters.
One way to know whether it is right is to mix a known fraction of a
compound, e.g. ZnO with a ratio of original sample/ZnO=100/15.
At the end of the refinement, you have N components with N corrected(with
volume and density) scalefactor, S(i),
Weight(i)=S(i)/S(ZnO)*15
the sum of all weight(i) should be close to 100 if the whole thing is
crystalline.

Hi, guys,
I´m having some trouble using the Bruker software TOPAS R, right now I´m
quantifying a sinthetic sample with 50% of calcite and 50% of dolomite.
Check the following questions an help me if you can.
1) I´m using the CIF files from ICSD, but when I put it in the software it
gives me a temperature factor (beq.) of 1. Is there anyway I can check some
good temperature factors?! When i put then to refine, sometimes they become
negative, but the calculated - observed pattern is just good.
2) I´m using Fundamental Paramaters and for these I must have acknowledge
of
my instrument, well I have, minus sample lenght... and stuff like that...
is
there anyway I can determine these values with accuacy and use them with
sure?!
3) In TOPAS how do I know if the refinement is good?! Because each time I
refine the 50%/50% mixture I have different results and I don´t know wich
one gives me a result that I can trust.
Thank ou in advance,
