Abstract The article presents the results of identification and quantitative analysis of the phase composition, fine structure parameters of minerals in carbonate and terrigenous rocks by the use of modern X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. To make the XRD analysis, we optimized the modes of x-ray pattern shooting by changing the radius of the goniometer, the system of primary and secondary slits, Soller slits, and the system of detecting the low-content minerals. In processing the obtained x-ray patterns, we considered the size and defects of the crystal grains, the crystallographic mode of arrangements, atomic population of the crystal lattice, the Debye-Waller factor and the instrumental line broadening by the use of the Caliotti function for LaB6. So we determined the type and content of minerals, estimated the period of the crystal lattice, the size of the coherent scattering domains and micro-distortion crystal lattice of the mineral. We compared the obtained data on the presence and quantitative content of minerals with the data of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Based on the obtained data, reference intensity ratio (RIR) coefficients were selected for a number of minerals typically contained in core materials for quantitative phase analysis by the use of the corundum number method.

The detailed atomic structure of the binary icosahedral (i) ScZn7.33quasicrystal has been investigated by means of high-resolution synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction and absolute scale measurements of diffuse scattering. The average atomic structure has been solved using the measured Bragg intensity data based on a six-dimensional model that is isostructural to the i-YbCd5.7one. The structure is described with a quasiperiodic packing of large Tsai-type rhombic triacontahedron clusters and double Friauf polyhedra (DFP), both resulting from a close-packing of a large (Sc) and a small (Zn) atom. The difference in chemical composition between i-ScZn7.33and i-YbCd5.7was found to lie in the icosahedron shell and the DFP where in i-ScZn7.33chemical disorder occurs on the large atom sites, which induces a significant distortion to the structure units. The intensity in reciprocal space displays a substantial amount of diffuse scattering with anisotropic distribution, located around the strong Bragg peaks, that can be fully interpreted as resulting from phason fluctuations, with a ratio of the phason elastic constantsK2/K1= −0.53,i.e.close to a threefold instability limit. This induces a relatively large perpendicular (or phason) Debye–Waller factor, which explains the vanishing of `high-Qperp' reflections.


The X-ray inelastic scattering phenomena during the time-dependent perturbations are described with the aid of dynamical dispersion equations coupled with charge current in the Maxwell equations towards the appearance of the Debye-Waller factor driving the absorption coefficient, either for inelastic thermal diffusion and the Compton scattering, respectively.

AbstractIn view of present difficulties encountered in met alio graphic methods of phase analysis of titanium and its alloys, the possibility of utilizing integrated X-ray intensities for phase analysis was investigated. Power Formula variables were calculated for titanium, and relative areas of three alpha and one beta peak were determined. Recorded X-ray intensities were obtained from a large number of titanium specimens. The recorded intensities were analyzed and the results compared with those from metallographic analysis. The errors in the method arising from the nature of titanium, texture and peak overlapping, were studied and where possible, compensated for by adjusting the method of measurement and calculation.

Solid solutions are pervasive in minerals and in industrial inorganic materials. The analyst is often called upon to provide qualitative and quantitative X-ray phase analysis for specimens containing solid solutions when all that is available are Powder Diffraction File (PDF) data or commercial standards for the end members. In an earlier paper (1) we presented several examples of substantial errors in accuracy of quantitative analysis that can arise when the crystallinity and composition of the analyte standard do not match those of the analyte in the sample of interest. We recommended that to obtain more accurate quantitative analyses, one should determine the analyte composition (e.g., from XRF on grains seen in a SEM or from comparison of cell parameters with those of the end members) and synthesize an analyte standard with this composition and with a crystallinity approximating that of the analyte (e.g., as determined from peak breadth or α1/ α2 splitting).
