Abstract

Li et al (1990) reported experiments with gibbsite powder specimens on the use of Rietveld pattern-fitting, involving the March preferred orientation model, to characterise preferred orientation according to the March r parameter. It was shown that intensity corrections may be applied with the March r parameter derived from Rietveld analysis or with the related line intensity ratio MR which is sensitive to preferred orientation. The present paper reports an analytic expression involving r and MR which has proved highly reliable for the correction of preferred orientation bias in quantitative phase analysis of gibbsite. Similar expressions may be readily derived for other materials for which the March model is appropriate. Therefore the line ratio approach has considerable potential for rapid correction of intensities for preferred orientation.
