Dear Ross, We are working in the preparation of standard materials for XPD equipment alignment / calibration and also for obtaining instrumental breadth for line profile analysis (Rietveld, Warren-Averbach etc.). In our opinion a simple and good choice is high purity ytria (Y2O3) treated at

Hi all, We expect to have SRMs 640d & 660b available by no later then November 2008. SRM 676a will available in a ~month. I regret the difficulty that is being caused by this lapse; we are taking measures to prevent them from recurring. Regards, Jim At 09:50 PM 11/15/2007, you wrote: Hi A

I bought some LaB6 from gem dugout. thegemdugout.com There datasheet references calibration against NIST SRM-640C. I'm still looking for a source of corundum, though. David Lee, Ph.D. SMRL, The Ohio State University Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering 2041 College Rd Columbus, OH 43210

Hello Ross For this purpose you can use annealed (1573K, 3h, in air) CeO2 (D. Balzar et al., J. Appl. Cryst. 37 (2004), 911-924), which is by far cheaper than the NIST standard, I suppose. Regards Franz -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS. Alle Infos und kostenlose A
