Re: [EXT] [External] Re: Step-like basline

Dear everyone, A very nice discussion to help young people in the field of powder diffraction. In our case we are the happy user of two "quick and dirty" diffractometers (no brand of course !) but with two different radiations : copper and cobalt with respectively Nickel and Iron K filter + Mo

Re: [EXT] [External] Re: Step-like basline

Dear Francois, even older XRPD people may be confused by any satellites, especially when switching from "traditional" instrumentation (e.g. graphite monochromator + szinti) towards "modern" instruments, my personal experience ;-) Thanks for your documents, very helpful. The table containin

Fwd: [EXT] [External] Re: Step-like basline

Dear Reinhard and Rietvelders, It is always a compromise. Ideally we would like the fastest instrument with a lot of intensity (so, 1D or 2D detectors) but no lines outside the Kalpha or even just the Kapha1 like the one of James Cline. But this means a monochromator on the incident beam and yo

Re: [EXT] [External] Re: Step-like basline

Dear Luca, I completely agree and will be very happy to have a 1D detector with sufficient energy resolution to resolve a "pure" Cu Kalpha1/2 doublet from W Lalpha1. This would make routine work much easier. IMHO, the biggest improvements in XRPD instrumentation within the last decades cam

Dear Reinhard, I wouldn't say "solely from the detector side". The biggest improvement is synchrotron radiation (+2D detectors🤓). Best greetings from Lac Leman Radovan Cerny Envoyé à partir de Outlook pour Android From: rietveld_l-requ..

Dear Radovan, may be you are right, but this great development will unfortunately not help the big number of lab diffractionists to puzzle the patterns to be analyzed in their daily business ;-) Best regards Reinhard Zitat von Radovan Cerny : Dear Reinhard, I wouldn't say "solely from th
