Line Calibration

2013-09-04 Thread May, Frank
To all: I have electronic grade silicon wafers (6-9s pure) which I'm willing to share. They are not certified by NIST. They are from silicon single crystal production and are many years old. You can grind and mix with your material of interest and use the line positions to ascertain peak shi

Dear Nelson, you probably could use LaB6 or you could buy an alpha-corundum fron Alfa Aesar, it's very cheap and will give you good results. At the end, you should select an internal standad with x-ray absorption coefficient similar to your sample, but you can correct this effect with any soft

Dear colleagues, could anybody suggest a standard (and where i can buy), not very expensive, like quartz or zirconia to doping a power sample to control the position of xrd lines and probably later help in quantification. we use Nist standard LaB6 to instrument performance characterization

Dear Armel, >From the comparison of your distances and angles with the single-crystal ones, >two obvious conclusions can be drawn: 1) Applying a simplified refinement model one can't expect accurate results 2) Uncertainty estimations in Rietveld programs are inadequately optimistic Here you may
