Powder pattern indexing and Rietveld structural refinement techniques are complementary and are often combined to determine the structure of a material. Indexing is considered a prelude to determining ...
“The powder method has gained a new importance in neutron diffraction owing to the general lack of large specimens for single-crystal methods”. With this brief opening sentence of his landmark paper ...
This article analyzes lithium carbonate (Li ₂ CO ₃) extracted from salars using X-Ray diffraction (XRD). Salars, which are salt flats or salt pans, are sources of lithium, where Li ₂ CO ₃ or LiOH is ...
