Dear Lee, Your calculations are correct provided the allowances for microabsorption and other effects were made properly. Regards, Leonid --- On Tue, 10/14/08, Lee Gerrard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Lee Gerrard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Question on QPA - Amorphous/crystalline mix

Dear Lee: This is interesting to me. Before i take some comments, would you like to send me your data and give me a chance to try. i hope you have done the Rietveld refinement using GSAS. If so, can you send me a package including: 1) recent .exp file; 2) the three .cif file for A, B and corun

The overestimation of the corundum concentration by QPA will give you the amorphous concentration as follows: Amorphous= (QPA amount - actual amount) / (QPA amount *(1-actual amount)) Then you correct all QPA concentrations with the equation actual amount = (1-amorphous) * QPA amount (that is, if
