Abstract

In most of the practical problems of the quantitative X-ray analysis, obtaining working equations including only intensity ratios without the sample mass-absorption coefficient is impossible, unless an internal standard is added to the sample. It is shown that the internal standard may be unnecessary if some chemical data are added to the XRD information used. Experimental results justify this claim.
