Bruker axs D8 ADVANCE

Linear Position Sensitive (superfast) detector VÅNTEC-1 LPS detector VÅNTEC vs scintillation det.: ca. 100x better resolution very good peak-to-background intensity ratio 1s/step „standard” counting time  416s/step for VÅNTEC

Bruker axs D8 ADVANCE standard qualitative analysis of complex mixtures (ca. 3 min. analysis) quantitative analysis of simple and complex mixtures incl. fly ash, magnetic separates, clinkers, bricks, pyrometallurgic slags etc. (mainly Rietveld method in TOPAS) determination of crystallinity degree and amorphous (glass) phase content; unit cell parameters transmission geometry  analysis of polytypes grazing incidence  surface facture characteristics thermal chamber  real-time phase transition analysis

Holders etc.

Calibration standards LaB 6

Additional equipment

TOPAS – a complex tool for PXRD data analysis TOtal Powder Pattern decomposition (math. deconvolution) peak shape and whole profile fitting („repairing”) background corrections (Chebychev polynomials, 1/x function) sample preparation and sample-derived errors (sample displacement, absorption, preferred orientation) instrument-derived errors (zero error, tangential correction, untypical geometry) LaB 6 and Si – based calibration:

TOPAS – precise phase input data hkl phase  Pawley or LeBail method (unit cell parameters, general fitting) structure phase  full structure data (Rietveld quantitative analysis, precise unit cell parameters calculation) peaks phase  amorphous phase content determination

TOPAS – quantitative analysis – iron-oxide-rich paralava of burning post coal-mining dump calculated unit cell and other parameters Very good fitting result full quantitative result for 11 crystalline species Good background statistics low error

TOPAS – quantitative analysis – crystallinity degree  amorphous phase content Precise calculation statistics information Goodness of Fit (χ 2 ) Residual – weighted pattern Durbin-Watson statistics
