Thanks Tony When I add the absorption edge correction to the silicon nitride model (and add beta-silicon nitride), it becomes -2.8 wt% amorphous; up a little due to the added correction and down a little due to the extra phase. If I change your al-SN thermals from 1 to those given in ICSD 77811,

Maybe a silly question: are you assuming you have the data on an absolute scale in order to do these calculations? Do things like surface roughness somehow not matter? Best Jon On 13/04/2022 11:56, Matthew Rowles wrote: Thanks Tony When I add the absorption edge correction to the silicon

Dear Jon, It might be just me, my current QPA practise is to micronise all samples down to 10-40 micron range and make a flat sample surface for the machine to scan. I trust the SRMs are already fine enough and Matthrew packed them well. There are roughness correction models but they may be sam
