Abstract

Methods for detecting and modeling micro-crystallinity are discussed in view of determining the systematic effects produced on powder diffraction patterns by both sample features and instrumentation. The mathematical theory of x-ray powder diffraction is the appropriate developmental base for defining micro-crystallinity models in terms of structural ohservables, as well as the “mean equivalent lattice” in terms of computational approximations. Such a theory indicates the way to detect micro-crystallinity accurately and precisely within the limits of the approximations.

Measurements have been carried out on a natural magnetite sample and reported here.
