Abstract

Three powder mixtures, each composed of four or more phases, were submitted for phase identification by x-ray diffraction. Laboratory technicians supplied tables of “d” values and of relative intensities as obtained separately and independently by use of the diffractometer, the Debye camera and the Guinier camera. These tables of diffraction data were “solved” by utilization of the Joint Committee search manuals and reference to the Joint Committee Powder Diffraction File (P.D.F.). The same tables of data were then submitted to the 2dTS:Diffraction Data Tele∼Search for a computer printout of results. Experimental data are also presented which provide a quantitative comparison of the accuracy of measurement of “d” values and of the resolution of Debye cameras vs Guinier cameras, since this information is necessary for efficient search procedures whether by manual or computer methods.
