Extract

X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is widely used for qualitative analysis of the phases in multiphase mixtures. To extend the characterization to the level of quantitative analysis (QA) requires solution of many challenging problems such as elimination of preferred orientation (1,2,3); selection of an appropriate reference standard which closely matches the analyte phase in crystallite size, thermal history, stoichiometry etc. (4); effectively collecting the experimental intensities (5,6); and finally, performing the data reduction and analysis.

The desire to solve the last problem in a general way and to incorporate the “best” procedures developed in several laboratories into one package was one of the stimuli for developing the NBS*QUANT82 system of programs. This system is integrally coupled with the data collection system AUTO (6,7).
