synchrotron beamline info

2015-07-29 Thread Natale Perchiazzi
Dear All,I would need to get good quality powder pattern, suitable for Rietveld analysys, working on mineral microcrystalline fragments with dimensions around 0.1-0.2 mm. From your experience, which could be an European synchrotron beamline with a suitable experimental setup to get  these data?b

Dear Natale, do you think about a Gandolfi like setup? Or can the fragments be crushed? best Miguel --- michele gregorkiewitz Dip Scienze Fisiche, della Terra e dell'Ambiente Università di Siena via Laterina 8, I-53100 Siena gre...@unisi.it, +39'0577'233810 Il 2015-07-29 11:33 Natale Perc

Dear Natale, Why you are not collecting single crystal data with such beautiful crystals? For powders the best beamline is that one which will be the first to give you the beamtime☺ Radovan Cerny Laboratoire de Cristallographie, DQMP Université de Genève 24, quai Ernest-Ansermet CH-1211 Geneva

… or, indeed, can the fragments be put on a 4-circle single crystal machine at your local university?! Simon > On 29 Jul 2015, at 10:48, GREGORKIEWITZ MICHAEL > wrote: > > Dear Natale, > > do you think about a Gandolfi like setup? Or can the fragments be crushed? > > best > > Miguel > >

Hola Miguel,  A Gandolfi like setup would be definitely easier. I guess you suggest alternatevely to crush and dilute the material in a matrix? ! Cheers Natale  Inviato da Yahoo Mail su Android Da:"GREGORKIEWITZ MICHAEL" Data:Mer, 29 Lug, 2015 alle 12:16 Oggetto:Re: synchrotron beamline info

Dear Natale A good quality powder pattern starts with a good quality powder. Using a 2D area detector is probably easier than trying to align a small sample on a Gandolfi spinner, to increase grain statistics. Also a lower resolution instrument will have fewer problems for grain averaging. Wit

dear Natale, I think a combination of Gandolfi spinning and 2D detector could indeed be interesting! Both reorientation and detector height matter: J Applied Crystallography (1994) 27: 855-859. best Miguel --- michele gregorkiewitz Dip Scienze Fisiche, della Terra e dell'Ambiente Universit

About ten years ago, I was working on a D4 with lynx eye, had to put an air scatter blocker 1 or 2 mm above the powder sample. In the beginning, I had to put simple geometry into the bgmn configuration sav-file until Dr Bergmann put a parameter airscatter=#. Now I came back to the business with a D

Hi What do you mean by "handle it"? If the knife edge is correctly set up, the only thing that should change is the background. Matthew Rowles On 30 Jul 2015 3:04 am, "ji zhang" wrote: > > About ten years ago, I was working on a D4 with lynx eye, had to put an > air scatter blocker 1 or 2 mm a

Hi Jilin You could probably add a note to your input file. Not everything you use in your hardware can be either properly modelled, or influence the pattern significantly. Do you need to model the anti-scatter slits? They help reduce background. One thing that could happen is that if the knife i

Hi Matthew, what you mentioned earlier is not completely correct: An anti-air scatter (or beam knife) does not only reduce background (mainly at low angles), but also cuts intensity at higher 2theta values, if not installed correctly. It does not result in a sample displacement error, it just
