Abstract

A new procedure for the quantitative phase analysis using the whole–powder–pattern decomposition method has been proposed (Toraya and Tsusaka, 1995). The procedure is based on the determination of the scale factor for the profile intensity of each phase in a mixture, which is identical to the ratio of integrated intensity in a mixture to that of the corresponding reflection in a single component sample. Weight fractious were obtained by solving the simultaneous equations, of which coefficients include the scale factors and the mass absorption coefficients. In a previous study, the mass absorption coefficients were calculated from chemical compositions and u,/p data of respective phases. In the present study, an alternative way of deriving the weight fraction without using the knowledge of chemical composition is proposed.
