Hello all,
I use Rietveld primarily for quantitative phase analysis of rock samples. We
collect XRF and XRD data on our samples.
Is there a best practice for using these data together? Or a recognized method
or procedure for evaluating the agreement between the two? Can the XRF be used
to res
There are many ways how elemental analysis (e.g. by XRF) can be used
to guide the XRD phase quantification.
This becomes especially relevant when using "2 in 1" equipment like "Thermo ARL
9000
Workstation". The XRD-XRF combination is often used (by various ways) in
cement industry - you may sear
Hi. I think XRF can help only in case of simple samples or, e.g., to
disclude some "strange" elements, by proving there's none of them in the
particular sample. But when you have, lets say, a mixture containing a
spinel and periclase (MgO), then you won't be able to confirm by XRF
itself that all t
