Extract

Accurate diffraction intensity measurement from powder samples with a modern automatic x-ray diffractometer is nowadays a routine work. Most of the difficulties are caused because the samples are not the ideal ones. Especially, the effect of preferred orientation (or texture) may drastically distort the ratios of intensities in the collected data. To diminish these effects more careful preparation of the samples is needed. This is, however, often tedious and its success is not certain.
