Abstract

Complete sets of correction factors for absorption and air scattering effects in X-ray powder diffraction are reported. Both symmetrical reflection and transmission techniques are considered and boundary conditions to be tested for any given value of scattering angles are listed. This may prove particularly useful on coding computer programs for correction of raw intensity data files. Effects of interstitial volume on correction for absorption and subtraction of air scattering were investigated. For samples of high interstitial volume, like loosely packed powders or aerogels, the contribution from air trapped inside the specimen is significant and leads to expressions of the air scattering correction factors different from those commonly reported in the literature.
