Abstract

Quantitative analysis by x-ray powder diffraction methods has become increasingly important in recent years with the availability of computer-controlled automatic powder diffractometers. All data gathering techniques require suitable reference standards to scale the measured data properly. One means of achieving this scaling is through the reference Intensity ratio which is defined as the intensity ratio of the strongest diffraction maximum of a substance to the strongest maximum of a reference material in a 1:1 mixture “by weight. These ratios may he measured or they may he calculated if the crystal structures of the materials are accurately known.
