Abstract

An X-ray powder diffraction quantitative analysis has been developed to determine the relative amounts of the principal crystalline phases (α-Li2SiO3, α-Li2Si2O5 and the α-cristobalite form of SiO2) contained in selected Li2O–SiO2 glass-ceramics. The analysis was extended to estimate the amorphous-to-crystalline content ratio of individual samples. The method utilized is an external-standard intensity ratio technique that employs cristobalite, a component common to each sample, for a standard.
