X-ray diffraction study of orientation of the micaceous minerals in slate
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 July 2018
Abstract
An X-ray diffraction technique has been used to determine the orientation pattern of the (001) planes of 10 Å micaceous minerals in slate. The guiding principle of this technique is the direct measurement of the diffracted radiation from the pre-selected family of crystallographic planes as a function of the orientation of the specimen.
Results obtained indicated that the basal planes of these minerals are mostly oriented in a direction parallel to the cleavage planes and the possibility of another orientation was considered to be slight.
