Abstract

This paper reviews the factors in diffractometer geometry most likely to cause large errors in intensity measurements due to imperfect specimen preparation, particularly preferred orientation. It is recommended the same specimen be transferred to two or more diffractometer geometries in which the specimen has different orientations to obtain sets of complementary data. Three geometries are illustrated: θ-2θ scanning with reflection and transmission specimens, and Seeman-Bohlin with reflection specimen.
