For quantitative analysis the flat-plate transmission geometry is much more preferable as it is free of the microadsorbtion problem. Of course, resolution is not so easily achievable in this geometry, but one may use synchrotron at last. Best regards, Leonid Solovyov >Thanks Reinhard and all for

We have positive experience with commercial ZnO pigments or chemicals, heated to 700°C for about 2 hours in air for recrystallisation of the amorphous ZnO or the spurious Zn carbonates/hydrates to get nearly 100% crystalline ZnO. In 1:1 mixtures of the best NIST corundum, we found no significan

At first glance it looks like a classic microabsorption problem, but I don't have the linear absorption coefficients to hand. Using an internal standard with a too small absorption will tend to over-estimate the amorphous content. Ce versus Zn is a pretty big contrast for CuKa, even if the parti
