EQUIPMENT: Standardless XRD analysis from Philips

Advanced Ceramics Report, October, 1995

Philips Analytical has developed a software programme that provides simultaneous, standardless quantitative analysis of up to ten phases.

Called 'Quasar', the programme runs under Windows 3.1 and offers user-friendly quantitative analysis for crystalline and partially amorphous samples, as well as size/strain analysis. The programme is based on the Rietveld method, a procedure that enables structural and instrument parameters to be refined. Several Rietvald parameters can be refined including scale factors, background, asymmetry, shape, width and preferred orientation.

Philips Analytical says users of Quasar can determine the amorphous content in crystalline samples containing known phases by adding a defined percentage of an internal standard. Quasar can...
