Full-profile analysis of microdensitometer-measured Guinier-H~igg X-ray powder film data (strictly monochromatized Cu K~I radiation) [see Malmros & Thomas (1977). J. Appl. Cryst. 10,[7][8][9][10][11] is here extended to treat a multicomponent system where two of the components are refinable. The method is demonstrated for the case of: (a) ~-Bi203/KC1 (standard), and (b) CaF2/SiO2 (s-quartz) together with a Mg(OH)2 matrix. In (a), a weight ratio BizO3/KCI of 1:1 gave an experimental result of 0-96(9):1. In (b), a number of admixtures have been studied in the range 1-60 wt% SiO2 all with 10 wt % CaF2. The agreement between weight ratios and profile refinement results suggests that the formal temperature factors function as effective absorption correction parameters. It is thus shown that approximate quantitative analysis is feasible from Guinier-H~igg diffraction data without any previously determined calibration curve. Moreover, the method permits the use of all available overlapping data in the refinement of a structure without needing to exclude data from known impurities [see Waltersson, Werner & Wilhelmi (1977). Cryst. Struct. Commun. 6,[231][232][233][234][235].This feature is likely to prove the most common application of the method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
