Speaking of internal standards. Can someone recommend a source of bulk alumina to use for production samples. I don't find 'linde A' listed in the Buehler catalog anymore. I'm not sure which of the various grades they list to order or if there is a better place to order it. Doug Allen Usually j

Analysis without internal standard (for example for bulk materials) can be done with Maud for glasses of other common amorphous phases. http://www.ing.unitn.it/~luttero/maud there is one example, plus a publication on line. Luca Lutterotti On May 6, 2004, at 4:56 PM, Robert Mauricot wrote

Robert As previously mentioned many Rietveld programs will do what you want if you're willing to do the amorphous content calculations by hand afterwards. Some commercial software has it built in. I've done work in this area, and there are some pitfalls of which you must be aware, or your results

Probably the best approach is to include a known quantity of an internal standard in the sample. Sample preparation is very important and you will have to make sure the standard is carefully weighed and that the mixiing procedure that is used is efficient. You can then carry out quantitative Rietve
