Dear Rietvelders, I have a case in measurement using conventional XRD. The case is as follow.
We have a powder consist of one phase (e.g. Al2O3). We will use conventional XRD. First measurement, we put 0.9 gr in the sample holder. Then we get the result, and call it as DATA A. Second measurement, we put 0.8 gr in the sample holder. Then we get the result, and call it as DATA B. Without carrying out real measurement, and same instrumental setup is applied to each measurement, what can we expect about the result differences (between DATA A and B)? Is it true that we will get different scale factor? Thanks for the answers. With regards, Budi
