Extract

In earlier papers, the reference intensity method (RIM) of quantitative x-ray diffraction was described in terms of the theoretical basis (Davis, 1980), error propagation (Davis, 1981), filter sample preparation technology for eliminating preferred orientation (Davis and Johnson, 1982; Davis, 1986), and special applications to amorphous-bearing samples using mass absorption measurements (Davis and Johnson, 1987). This paper describes application of counting statistics to the determination of the lower limit of detection (LLD) of components quantitatively measured by the RIM procedure. With this discussion, virtually all phases of the RIM methodology will have been described.
